It\u2019s possible that he knows he\u2019ll back with the Bills when the time is right, but it\u2019s also possible that the Bills and Milano want to reexamine the landscape of free agency and the NFL after the upcoming NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Would Milano make sense for the Rams? It\u2019s possible the answer is no because Milano\u2019s best days are behind him, then again, he could have some juice left in the tank, and he could be a veteran leader to help put the Rams over the top, but this really just seems like speculation not anything solid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Baseball is about to get rolling, basketball is happening, there is hockey, but there\u2019s still plenty of things to talk about when it comes to the NFL!
