Von Miller wanted to go to the Cowboys prior to signing with Bills

[Big Turk]

Can't blame him since he is from the area but Cowboys didn't have the cap space so it never really progressed...

 

Glad he is a Bill now. Wonder how many "almosts" with key players teams get and miss out on that we never hear about...

It’s never about the money…….but it’s always about the money. 

[GunnerBill]

He was guaging interest and reaching out to teams. Nothing wrong with that.

Please.

 

As Gunner says, nothing wrong with gauging interest. But it doesn't necessarily mean anything beyond that.

This sounds like when the Bills were "interested in" or "tried to sign/trade for" every big name, when really it was more like "hey would you happen to be willing to play for league minimum" or "hey would you take a 7th for CMC and eat his salary".

[Utah John]

What's surprising is that Miller was saying he never wanted to leave the Rams, but that the Bills situation and the Bills offer were too good to pass up.  He made it sound like the only team that could get him away from the LAR was the Bills.  

 

Whatever.  None of this matters.  He's been a great player over the years and I think he's still got a lot left in the tank to help the Bills win.

That cowboys defense is not ‘dangerous’ at all.

 

that team is criminally overrated.

That's certainly correct! The defense hasn't been dangerous for years!

[The Dean]

Given the available evidence in the link, I think his is a horrible title for this thread. But typical for fan sports forums.

I think it was pretty clear from his own video that we overpaid to get him. His agent said something like Bills offered more than they even expected.

 

Nothing wrong with that since we are talking about Von Miller. He just needs to produce next three years and help us win a Lombardi.

 

And it's really not a surprise that other teams were interested and that he talked to other teams.

It's hard to say how meaningful Miller's interest in the Cowboys was.

 

If Miller reached out to the Cowboys as DeMarcus Ware states, that tells me that winning a championship was not his first criteria.

 

As mentioned, Miller grew up in suburban Dallas and played college at Texas A&M, less than an hour from his hometown of DeSoto.

 

The question is "Would Miller have preferred to sign with his hometown team if they offered the same money as the Bills?"

[Sharky7337]

Cowboys trying to still be relevant and a destination ....yawn..... when is the last time they did anything?

 

 

[Motor26]

Don’t really care, he’s on the Bills now. Cowboys suck too.

They are also criminally overly-talked-about. Please make it stop!

DeMarcus Ware was a man.  Best player on the field when I saw him in person.

He got basically the same deal Chandler Jones did.

I still can’t believe we added him to this defense, which was #1 in points and yards allowed last year.
