Kinda makes me laugh at all of the “Bills interested in….”

I believe they were interested in all FA/available top pass rushers. But their interest in von Miller goes back to last year so I think he was their top target. They tried to trade for him at the deadline.

Had to take off for awhile. Many were complaining about the lack of a big move (esp. on the DL)---LOL. Anyone see this coming? Wonder if he was the big ticket FA who approached the Bills?

This is going to be incredible for Gregory Rousseau. Hope he soaks up all of Von Miller’s rushing Techniques. Miller is a true technician.

Good point

This. I was saying this about Diggs and drafting a young WR. It makes a Diggs contract so much more valuable, because a young WR can learn from the best. Rousseau and Boogie can now learn from the best.

Seriously before the deal everyone one is like "Beans asleep at the wheel what's he doing got to go all in."

Afterwards "What's he doing that's way too much."

I was thinking that being torn between sticking with a team that took a shot at you that you've won with and going to a new team that's never won 1 and being a part of that kind of made sense.

What's he even doing at this point, he's making it way too easy.

Isn't this exactly the kind of "mortgaging the future" cap games that Beane always says he hates and tries to avoid?

[par73]

Gosh-- hope this doesn't affect the Phillips deal.

[NewEra]

I’d love to bring back Jerry too

And people hopefully now anyone that didn't understand before understands now. Cap space is never written in stone.

Glad we won’t have to discuss this anymore.

Well, one thing we know is that McDermott and Beane are not stupid and do their homework.  In my mind there is very little chance that they've already gotten past this concern.    And there's very little chance that Miller doesn't have the attitude to fit into this defense - that's always the first question for McBeane.   They sure as heck weren't going to burn tens and tens of millions of dollars on a guy who did fit.  

 

The fact that they signed him means there's little question about the kind of impact he'll have on the defense, if he stays healthy.  

 

Bills used Addison almost exclusively as an edge rusher last year.   Imagine Miller playing where Addison was.   Whew!

At least we know he’ll be fresh for the playoffs, since he’ll be in rotation with 26 other guys.

The whole 'interested' thing is stupid. Of course they are interested in all the top guys. Interest doesn't just mean they want to sign him. They need information about the market, they learn about trends in contract structuring, what other teams are doing, etc. 

 

I would not be surprised if Von Miller was their target all along. Jones is talented, but he's not the same kind of leader. Jones is talking about 'the right scheme' which is pretty obvious he doesn't want to drop into coverage. Von Miller is a grit and glue guy. 

 

Von Miller would die before he let 13 seconds happen with him on the field.
