This can be true, for sure. But John Miller is 26 years old, has 5 years in the league already, and is already on his 4th team.
He's also coming off a season where he was released after only 1 year into a 3 year deal. The Bengals had to eat like 2 mil just to move on.
None of the above strikes me as an indicator that this dude may be getting a bump in pay due to potential.
The fact of the matter he's a journeyman, a retread, a band-aid, pick your word choice. The fact XSF is pretty similar. In age, and in stops. Both players are now on the 4th team. Both players are vets that no one found to be long term options, or worth a high dollar price.
I hope XSF does great here. But if you think he's automatically an upgrade then I think you're kidding yourself. These are two pretty similar players as far as potential.
