The money in the NFL is sick.

You have special teams players making as much as 2nd line forwards in the nhl

Ever see basketball and baseball contracts?  Those are crazy.  There are backups in NBA making 30 million a year.

It pays to have a much smaller roster.

And a MUCH larger revenue (compared to hockey).

Just in case someone thought Bosa took a discount to play for the Bills.  I hope this DE works out b/c Miller was a big swing and miss.  Like Reggie circa 1978 falling in the batters box.

Miller was a homerun right up until he got hurt and became a shadow of his former self. Bosa is an availability risk for sure.

  Of course the injury plays into equation of why it was a failure. The Bills committed $52m guaranteed and $120m/6 total which if you look at both the value we received in three years.  He had  14 total sacks, 41 tackles, only one forced fumble and an avg 12/17 games played.  If we couple this with his off the field issues and now the dead cap issues they face ($15.4m- b/c the cap numbers in 2022/23 were so low), the concept of Von Miller was bad. It was a home run swing (my Reggie analogy) to win a Superbowl and resulted in an epic strikeout. 

  This signing is a much lower risk/prove it deal with no cap consequences.   Bosa’s risk of injury is far greater than when Von arrived in ‘22 (although Von did have an ACL in Denver years before), but the exposure is also very low.  I mean $12.5m in 2025 cap is 4.4% vs what Von was getting - $17m annualized) was over 8% of the 2022 Cap.  So half and no long term risk.   
 

** But still, like Miller, the highest bidder.

It happens, that's life. Every team has those. Most more often than the Bills do

[triumph_communes]

You do take those gambles every year you have with a QB in his prime. After the prime you can worry about long term asset management again

To Von’s credit, he renegotiated a new deal after the first two injury-filled years. Everything is a risk when you get right down to it.

Probably crazy to celebrate someone who's making that much money.. because of course he could take even less.. but that's the position he's put himself into and we'd all take it if we could.

So, kudos to him because if he's sincere, then I love it and if he's not?  He's a great marketer.  Either way.. just win.

Beane knew about Hoecht and still decided to sign him.  But he apparently didn’t know about Ogunjobi.  If I was Beane and Ogunjobi or his agent knowingly lied to me then I would certainly recoup some of that money.
