Von Miller signs with Bills **merged**

[jwooten15]

I wouldn’t pay him $20 million either. Wow

 

[J817]

As much as I’m a little disappointed the Cowboys haven’t really made any noticeable signings this off-season. Not signing a 33 year old LB is not going to make me lose sleep tonight.

 

[Havic]

What an insane contract. No thanks to that lmao.

 

[Adreme]

The number per year doesn't surprise me at all. It's the length of the contract for a 33 year old DE. But again, we're yet to see the details.

I would expect years 4 5 6 to be very non guaranteed salary heavy. If the contract averages 17.5 over 4 years that leaves 50 million in years 5 and 6 that is almost certainly not guaranteed.

 

[CWR]

I wonder how close we were

We weren't in the ballpark, nor should we have been. You can't pay a 33 year old like that. You just can't. I'll wait to see guaranteed money. As of now it may be the worst contract I've ever seen.

 

[kumizi]

So he got 3 years guaranteed at $17.5 million per year.

 

[chicago JK]

I can't wait to sick burn the good teams fanbases with all of our unused cap room.

unused cap room > score board

 

[sunalsorises]

I have to imagine his agent could get me $1M for a year to do something with an NFL team.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Just breaking everywhere

The "Cap" guides the way.........

 

[blueblood70]

Lets wait to see the details to the contract first. On the surface it looks ridiculous. But I'm not surprised by the 20M. Teams love to pay a fortune for DEs. But 6 years 120M for a 33 year old DE? Nuts.

even with strange language, its still sems out of line...

right someone with common sense would see what many are getting over paid ie Jones and Miller or others with red flags like Smiths back,

i get the rumblings and we did lose RG and now have very little options but i am guessing look at the second cuts soon to happen as they did today guys like C,Cambell, Ingram, Nassib, and others..its not as big of name but draft day 1st round just hope they don't reach for taco type at 24 still got to take BPA..

last hope a trade right before the season if they dont like what happens in camp.i mean that how Miler ended up wit the rams before the TD..

 

[The Natural]

Wagner.

 

[jazzcat22]

You know thstx not tge real deal

Right he will never see all of that money.
I think most players realize that, but it is the principle at times the way it sounds and looks.

Kind of like getting $10K for your vehicle trade on when it is worth $2K. But they bump up the price and other fees on the new vehicle by $8K. it looks good, but works out the same.

 

[gimmesix]

I wonder how close we were

Most likely, we were never in the race. It was Parsons and Ware who were talking this up, not the Joneses. The Joneses have said we don't spend big on outside free agents. We only look for values. Give it a week or so and we'll start signing those guys.

 

[AtomicDog]

Bye Felicia

 

[RomoIsGod]

Can't pay that for an aging DE.

 

[CowboyChris]

Just breaking everywhere

you were able to break that first over the menstrual @Risen Star good job!

 

[Hawkeye19]

Wagner.

Yep… only real big “win” left in FA for us to sign. Don’t get your hopes up lol

 

[CWR]

Freaking Dak...

(I figured someone had to add this comment, logic be damned)

 

[unionjack8]

There isn't one single guy left thats even worth bringing in , the list of pass rushers left is PUTRID

 

[blueblood70]

Omg man can this team do no wrong to you?

its insane sorry if you dont agree you simply like hearing yourself grumble, no im not happy but that just far too much dude..you know it, the rams knew it , Denver didn't woo him back, and for sure we were smart to let him go to the highest bidder who had the bidding process drive up the cost,.

I lie miller for 15=16mil on real 3 year deal but no way 20 for 6 even if they added language for the last years..
