Man, even before Von Miller got injured (old guys get hurt a lot) I was so glad to have Fowler and Armstrong instead of Miller for 6 years at $120M per year.
That is just too much money to pay a guy that wouldn’t really help over who we have (and who probably would get hurt).
Everything else being equal, I’d have liked to have Miller too… but everything is not equal. He makes way more money. He is at the very back end of his career. He’s been getting dinged more and more as he has aged. He is absolutely going to effect Buffalo’s salary cap in a negative way beyond this season.
I know you wanted him here, and I understand why, but speaking for myself I am very glad they didn’t match that crazy contract for him. I love the guys we have on the EDGE. Parsons, Lawrence, Williams, Fowler, Armstrong. All but Lawrence are young and won’t hurt the cap this year or going forward.
