2025 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Matt Milano in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
RANKS
$Signed a two-year, $28 million contract with the Bills in March of 2023.
Restructures deal
LBBuffalo Bills
March 18, 2025
Milano agreed to restructure his contract with the Bills on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Milano agreed to shorten his contract with the Bills by a year, leaving him with one year remaining on his deal. It's worth noting the restructure also amounts to a pay cut, freeing up roughly $6 million in salary cap space for the team, but Milano can earn that back in incentives. The 2022 All-Pro linebacker has spent his first eight seasons in Buffalo, but he's appeared in only nine regular-season games the last two seasons due to injury.

2018
Milano, who was a first-team All-Pro just two seasons ago, has a degree of upside as a fantasy asset and has proven his value as a steady NFL defender for seven seasons now. As he approached his age-30 campaign, the 2017-third-rounder was returning from a leg injury that limited his effectiveness in 2023. Unfortunately 6-0, 223-pounder sustained another injury in August (torn biceps) that will sideline him indefinitely.
Milano is as steady as they come and still in his prime heading into his age-29 campaign. The 6-0, 223-pounder enters his seventh year with the Bills coming off a 2022 effort in which he recorded 99 tackles (72 solo), 1.5 sacks, 11 passes defended and three interceptions. This coming season, the Bills are once again counting on Milano to anchor a strong defense while working as a core piece at outside linebacker.
A solid all-purpose linebacker, Milano - who logged 86 tackles in 16 games last season - does a little bit of everything. Over the past two years he's had a bit more success rushing the passer with 6.5 sacks versus the 2.5 he recorded through his first three years in the league. This coming season, he'll reprise his starting inside linebacker role alongside Tremaine Edmunds
Milano signed a four-year contract extension this offseason, keeping him with the Bills, who made him a fifth-round draft pick in 2017. He's coming off of a season where he battled injuries, appearing in only ten games with just five starts, but the linebacker posted 101 total tackles in 2019 - when he was mostly healthy - and did record 3.5 sacks and an interception in more limited action this past season.
The fourth-year linebacker has improved his production in each of his three NFL seasons, and if that continues, he'll have a strong 2020 campaign. Last year Milano improved from 69 tackles, one sack, and seven passes defended in 2018 to 92, 1.5 and nine. This will be the final year of his rookie contract, so the three-down player has an opportunity to set himself up for a big payday.
Heading into his third campaign as a pro, Milano should be on deeper IDP radars after posting 78 tackles, seven passes defensed, three interceptions and three fumble recoveries in just 13 games for the Bills in 2018.
The second-year linebacker out of Boston College is well thought of by the Bills and has a chance to break out in 2018. One indicator is the 25 total tackles Milano produced over the final four games of his rookie season last year. It's easy enough math to extrapolate that out to 100 for a full campaign, which would be solid enough production for the 23-year-old to merit IDP consideration.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Beane optimistic about '25
LBBuffalo Bills
March 7, 2025
Bills general manager Brandon Beane stated at the NFL Combine that he was optimistic about Milano's 2025 outlook, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Milano has played in only nine regular-season games since the 2022 campaign due to an assortment of serious injuries. However, the 2017 fifth-round pick went into the offseason healthy and riding some momentum, as he was able to record 33 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries across four regular-season games and three postseason contests following his Week 13 season debut in 2024. "We expect Matt back at this point," Beane said. "I'm excited that he's healthy and not having to have a surgery or a rehab situation."
