Yeah but apparently only 1, because according to some people in here signing good players means you are only giving yourself one shot and will be in cap hell for the next 10 years of Josh’s prime 

 

We're paying Tremaine Edmunds 12.7 million per year to contribute almost nothing thus far.   for a mere 4.9 million more we're adding one of the all time greats and someone who's going to help develop our younger talent.  If Tremaine doesn't have his breakout 5th year we can finally cut ties and recoup some of that Miller money.  If Tremaine does breakout this year then our D just got that much more frightening.   Win/Win

after all these years of salary cap and contracts you would think it wouldn't be so difficult for some to understand

 

The last few years have taught me otherwise, and not just about football.

Has any player won a SB with 3 different teams? That would be a cool stat for Miller!

Matt Millan was on 3 teams that won. But did not play for SF. So technically if Miller plays in the SB and we win, He would be the first.

At the end of the Day.  This is the Bills Saying We are going to go all in to get that Lombardi.  When Trade Deadline comes up Sell off 2023 picks as well to reinforce that goal.  WIN the First Lombardi for this Franchise this year.  Then look at the team and re-tool as needed for multiple runs and trophies.  But GET ONE first that should be the focus this year and do everything to get that FIRST.  Watch what it does to the fanbase before your new stadium that will be funded by taxpayers, then adjust focus to get multiple.  BUT GET ONE is the goal.

It was Washington for whom he didn't play, but the point is the same.

I have put too much thought into this but I have good possibilities and bad possibilities:

Good- 3 Super Bowls due to him being a beast, he teaches Groot and Epenesa how to do what he does, and remains strong all three years until we have a hard decision in 2025 if to keep him.

Bad- he gets injured. 

 

Unless he is injured he will likely be at worst a little overpaid, but his leadership and setting of example should not be overlooked.

Fair points but Let me respond. I've never sad he's a bad player. I've said he's not the player he used to be. I stand by that statement. Sure I've over exaggerated my points. I'll concede that. Saying he's better than anything we have on the roster isn't saying much. I agree with you there. He's getting paid beyond well and is dare to say over paid. His agent did a helleva job.

 

Lastly, I think it's more than fair to point out his all pro teammate. Players make players better. To think otherwise is ridiculous. 


It’s always darkest once the dusk settles.

 

So by inference, Miller will make the players on the Bills DL better, right? If he’s being overpaid by giving him the money that used to go to Hughes and Addison, that’s still a subjective opinion that’s going to be governed by results. I don’t think you can make that claim based on the comps in this FA period. If 3/52 is the going rate for Chandler then it’s the going rate for a guy like Von too.

 

Running an argument one way but not the other diminishes the point. Sort of like mixing metaphors. It bottles the mind.

Von Miller is our biggest FA acquisition, perhaps ever, in our history so far. He's 33 years young and still in his prime. Yeah, he can get injured, however, as stated by "Buffalo Timmy," Von Miller's experience and leadership are priceless. Von Miller is WORTH EVERY PENNY.

 

Von Miller is a proven winner. He's the best. We GOT HIM.

Love it.  Miller makes our D-line and entire defense that much better.  Fantastic addition to the locker room too.  I wanted him when he came out of college, and I feel like it's kind of come full circle by getting him here as he closes out a HOF career.

 

We don't need Von Miller to make the playoffs.  We're already a playoff team, and we'd get back to the postseason with or without him.  We didn't sign Von Miller to win the division.  We would probably win the division next year regardless.  We signed Miller for one reason and one reason only -- to win a super bowl.  And he signed with us because in his judgement Buffalo has a better chance of winning the super bowl than the team that just won the super bowl.

 

Not sure how a person could be unhappy with that.

Well said !!!
