The news was first reported by Adam Schefter.Miller was drafted by Doug Whaley’s Bills in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He was immediately penciled in as the number-one right guard, staring 12 games in his rookie year. He started all 16 games in 2016 before being benched four games into 2017 under new offensive coordinator Rick Dennison. Dennison loved his zone-blocking scheme, something that didn’t fit with Miller’s game. When Brian Daboll changed it back to a power scheme, also employed by the previous offensive coaching staff under Rex Ryan, Miller was back in business, starting 15 games in 2018.While we projected a modest contract for Miller on the free agent market http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-russell-bodine-jersey , Miler signed a three-year, $16.5 million deal. We don’t know the specifics, but that’s a hefty pay increase for Miller. Guards with that much starting experience are getting paid!Most Bills fans would have been okay with Miller coming back on a team-friendly deal, but didn’t want to commit to him long-term.Head on over to Cincy Jungle for their take. The Bills offense had its best day of the season against in a 41-10 win over the Jets and tackle Dion Dawkins even got in on the fun by catching a touchdown pass from Matt Barkley.Everybody on the unit didn’t get involved in the fun, however. Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin didn’t catch a pass while playing on less than 60 percent of the offensive snaps. It’s the first time that either of those things have happened this year, but Benjamin’s season wasn’t a sparkling one before that game.Benjamin has 20 catches for 302 yards and a touchdown and he said Monday that he’s looking forward to turning the page once this season comes to an end.“It’s definitely going to be a fresh start Phillip Gaines Jersey ,” Benjamin said, via The Athletic. “Like I said, man, once I find a team or if I’m still here in Buffalo, wherever, man. I’m going to keep pushing. I learned a lot about myself. Just keep going. The mentality is to just keep pushing. Once you hit rock bottom Womens Marshall Newhouse Jersey , I guess it’s only up from there.”Benjamin has 36 catches in 16 games since arriving in a trade with the Panthers last season. Quarterback changes and the overall struggles on offense have played a role in that along with Benjamin’s own drops and knee injuries. It’s easy to understand why that leaves Benjamin feeling things have gotten as bad as they can, but it’s unclear how many teams will be betting that things will get much better in 2019.
