COULD MILLOY SIGNING BACKFIRE FOR BILLS?
By Ch2 Sports Director Ed Kilgore
On the surface, the Bills stunning acquisition of four-time Pro Bowl strong safety Lawyer Milloy appears to be a no-brain, slam-dunk home run, to mix a few good ‘ole sports clichés.
There is no doubt the addition of the 29-year-old Milloy is a huge plus to a Bills defense that figures to be vastly improved from the 2002 version even before his signing. But don’t be surprised if there is a downside to this, and it may even manifest itself in Sunday’s home opener against the Patriots, the team that decided against retaining its Lawyer for the defense because he was too expensive.
The long-term effect is nothing but positive for the Bills. If Donahoe and his outstanding staff feel Milloy isn’t slipping, as some folks in New England hint might be the case, then they’ve got the track record to show they’ve taken advantage of a golden opportunity.
