Expand What ya need to think on...is that the entire Bills fans focus was on Chandler Jones, Arizona. He went the Raiders for around the same money as Von...the Bills fans crying began! Then, A Beane miracle! Von, who at 32, is only one month older than Jones. Chandler got 10 sacks in 2021 and 5 came in one game. Von Miller was a hero in this past super bowl. Jones...not so much!

dave mcbride Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 For those old enough to remember, Buddy Nix settled on Dareus after missing out on the player he really wanted, Von Miller. 4 1 Quote
muppy Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Think about the fact that Von Miller chose a payday in Buffalo rather stay in his comfortable socal location. So much for not being willing to leave the familiar nest.....haha bah humbug on you mcskizzix whatever your name is LOL have your best life the Bills are Moving forward without you no crocodile tears here. I would say today was a Very auspicious day in Bill fandom. major...HUGE Buckle up copadres. GO BILLS!~!~ Edited March 17, 2022 by muppy 2 Quote
JoshAllensShorts Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Not trying to pick fights -- can someone explain to me why this isn't a bad deal? I don't really understand contracts/the salary cap in the NFL. From an outside perspective this seems like a huge commitment to a declining (but still good) vet. 1 Quote

I grew accustomed to him creating huge running lanes for QBs to run through after over-pursuit of them, and grew tired of that. I'm almost certain that the over-pursuing of QBs added to those pressures in spite of the negative results. Expand He also flushed them directly into sacks by other players numerous times as well Quote

I don't really understand contracts/the salary cap in the NFL. From an outside perspective this seems like a huge commitment to a declining (but still good) vet. Expand NFL contracts arent guaranteed. Most of the time when players sign big, long term deals like this, they never see the entire thing. As details come out, we find that this contract has $32M guaranteed at signing, and a total $52M guaranteed (of the so called "$120M"). So if we break it down, it turns out we can get out of the contract after 3 or 4 years. It's essentially a 3 year/$52M contract, or 4 year/$70M contract. $17M/yr for a premier pass rusher is about right. Edited March 17, 2022 by DrDawkinstein 2 1 Quote

Agent 91 Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 My question, why are voidable years a bargaining chip now? I understand the logic for players on your team you are trying to restructure, but why not just make the contract a 4 year 80 million or something? I really don't understand the logic Quote
