Von Miller & Bills trying to agree on contract?

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I hope von comes back at a workable number. I think he’s been good for the team and he’s an all time great. Make the money right and let him get a ring with us

If this gets done it also opens up the possibility of cutting or trading epenesa and saving 3.5 million.

 

you could potentially include epenesa in a package for Hendrickson. 

 

Hendrickson for 2nd, 4th, and epenesa 

 

2025 Defensive Ends: (Hendrickson, Groot, von, 2nd rounder, Solomon) 

 

looks pretty solid to me

Bye, bye. He’s a cancer. 

That’s harsh.

Miller taking a pay cut, again, would be great for us. I don't see him as a negative on this team.

Joe Marino of Locked on Bills feels that keeping Von takes snaps from a younger player the Bills might draft or sign. I can see the point.

This would be the reason I would get rid of him.

 

I don't see him as a "cancer" or a problem in the locker room.  I don't think he's the most upstanding human being, but I also think for the organization he seems to be well liked and he is trying to make a deal to stay.  I think you reward that, especially given the Cook situation where he may hold out for more money.  Also understand that as the season goes on... perhaps Miller's snap count goes down and you start plugging in younger talent.

I'd love that deal for Hendrickson. But if I were the Bengals I wouldn't do it.

 

Of course, the Bengals do stuff that seems to hurt them all the time. So, who knows.

Been saying this since the season ended.  If Von wants to play, he'll be on the team.

 

 We can have him play this year for no additional cap hit with a big performance slider that we probably pay under 10M net.  He was absolutely good enough to be a strong rotational pass rusher with upside.  I have no problem with him being here as long as the comp matches performance.

The problem was that he disappeared in the game against the Chiefs.

I posted in the other thread I thought this might happen. I don’t think Von wants to switch teams at this stage in his career. He wants one more Super Bowl. I think he knows he can do a lot for his legacy, especially in WNY, with a championship. Not to mention, guys going to be fully healed. Obviously he’s going to lose impact at his age but he could flash more than in 24, especially with low reps in high leverage moments. Maybe we see a bit more of that bend. Players like him and he seems to be a good talent recruiter / well connected. He also seems to mentor our younger pass rushers which is very valuable. If we can make the numbers work we would be dumb not to do it.

If he takes a pay cut and becomes our #3 DE because we’ve upgraded I’d be real happy with that

As long as he's strictly a rotational guy. And depending on his performance, low rotation. The big thing would be saving more $$$ by having him on the team. If he looks completely washed, let him ride the pine and play the player/coach role. 

[Spiderweb]

After his performance in the loss against KC to end our season, I truly hoped he had just played his last game for the Bills. Once he made his initial rush, he quit afterward on so many plays it was sickening. Once a great player, now a mere shadow of his former self.

I'd pay him by the sack, TFL, Int. with a low base salary

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Dude can still get home. Take a massive pay cut and stay or go somewhere else thank you so much. 

[bearstobills]

The big story here is that Muki broke the news!

[nosejob]

It's a no for me. 3rd down is the most important down in pass rush and getting off the field. Him taking up those snaps to put up 8 sacks maybe, over the season?

 

I'd rather roll with Groot , Reddick, Solomon and Princely.  Also draft a big strong end later in the draft. Fix the interior 1st.

Pure speculation from Bleacher Report but I suppose it could be possible.
 

I suppose Von COULD also take a trip to the moon next month.

If we can save more than cutting him fine, but this changes nothing as for as FA and draft needs.

Von is already our #3 DE unless he gets passed up by Solomon, a rookie and or a Smoot re-signing.

 

For as much abuse as Epenesa gets as a player here, he is better and cheaper than Miller at this stage of his career.
