If it's true that Buffalo's struggling with their OG's, Donald & Co. should wreak havoc.
I believe Buffalo just activated Roger Saffold off the PUP list and he is now practicing.

I'm just hoping the Rams stop him in his tracks.
I’m a former Buffalo resident and current Bills fan. They are my AFC team to root for. And their fans are the best.
With that said Cold-ass Buffalo/McDermott/Rich?? Stadium/Ed Oliver/Edmunds/TreWhite ain’t no Sunny LA/McVay/Sofi/AD/BWags/JR.
Miller is already regretting his decision. Let’s hope he realizes how big of a mistake he made after Week 1.

He's a nightmare matchup for Boom to have game one as the Rams new starter. It's the matchup that worries me the most in this game, other than Allen running around extending plays.

Buffalo gave him significantly more money.
Did they really give him more in the end? If he plays 3 years and collects 45-50 million wouldn’t that be close to the Rams offer of 16 million?

Looks like we had a decent offer and not a ceiling and the Bills came in and over shot over our 16 mill per year average.

With Von, it was the money but equal to that watching in his interviews at times you can tell him not being a big fish but playing second fiddle to AD caused a bit of distaste for him.

Probably 60/40 percent of the reasons to part ways,
Nah he loved AD. He even said he’s going to miss playing with him
Agree that it was about the $ but the Average-Per-Year can be miss-leading.

His contract with Buffalo is 6 years / $120M. So that's an APY of $20M. However, when you look at the contract terms, payout and guaranteed-$, it appears that Miller will pocket about $50M over the next three seasons.

Curious to know what Miller would have collected over a three-year-period under the Rams' offer
Sounds like the same amount

Von Miller recruiting free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. to join Bills?



Odell Beckham Jr. sounds interested in joining Von Miller on the Bills

I'm not that worried. Von is an excellent supporting cast member, as long as there is an Aaron Donald taking on 2-3 blockers. His ego made him take the money and the big dog status in Buffalo. He is Denver Broncos' Von of 2020 again, and Boom will do a good job. Boom is fluid and will "dance" Von wide, all game, IMO.

Could also end up being a big confidence booster for Boom. He did practice against Miller last season so he should be prepared. Plus it's regular season Miller, not post-season Miller. ;)

I think it's a great test for Noteboom.

If he doesn't play that third year, he's still getting paid by Buffalo.. and, we all know how the contract game works.... once he got to that non-guaranteed third year, it's most likely the Rams would be looking to rework that deal down.

Maybe. It all depends on if he’s still productive in three years. If he retires after two then it’s a good decision on his part and a bad one by the Bills, unless he’s a factor in getting them a Super Bowl of course….but we all know that isn’t going to happen.

Von Miller was added to the Rams 2021 mid-season for a couple of draft picks. He was in decline snd recovering from an injury. But he was had for a very minimal cap hit and became a critical add for the playoff run.

OBJ was added to the Rams 2021 mid-season. He was in decline and recovering from an injury. But he was had for a very reasonable cap hit and became a critical add for the playoff run.

Miller is gone from the Rams. OBJ is questionable for the Rams.

But does anyone think that McSnead won’t use the same tactic this year? Not sure who. Not sure when but retooling mid-season will now be part of the Rams recipe for success. I’m cool with waiting for The Who and when and excited to see the who and when. It also allows for optimism when the Rams lose a game or two during the season.

I think most of us expect it.

In 18, I was calling for the Rams to get Fowler.. it was clear it wasn’t working out in Jville.

Von was out of nowhere and cost a premium but was worth it.

Quinn is the obvious piece out there this year. We’ll see what happens.

Don’t see if happening. Don’t see the need for it. Do you even know what The Rams have this season ?

I’ll say I like this young group to develop & think they are underrated.
I get it though,because it is unproven.

The Sony Michael trade is another example. I called it,but not sure it would have happened without injury?

Same with the Von Miller trade. Add that the timing & how it all worked out was pretty amazing. Without Von Miller imo The Rams don’t win the SuperBowl.

Then again a lot of other things might have played out differently.
Though without Von Miller OBJ was probably a PAcker.
Who knows about Bobby Trees & now with A Robinson, a lot has changed.

Which goes the question of OBJ or A Robinson. I know some might want to say both.I’d say there is a 60/40 chance he becomes a Ram again though?
