When the Buffalo Bills inked Von Miller to a six-year, $120 million contract, the expectation was that the two-time Super Bowl champion and former game MVP would be the final piece to a championship-caliber roster.
However, things didn’t go as planned.
After three seasons and only 14 total sacks, the Bills released Von Miller to free up cap space. Shortly after, they signed former Pro Bowler Joey Bosa. According to Bills general manager Brandon Beane, the move had been inevitable.
“Tough deal. I love Von and really appreciate everything he brought here,” said Beane. “His first year started off strong with some clutch sacks to close games, but then he suffered the injury. Year two didn’t go as he had hoped, but I thought he bounced back last season and contributed in a positive way.”
Miller’s time in Buffalo may not be over just yet. Speaking to reporters this week, Beane emphasized that the organization is keeping the door open for a possible reunion.
“I had a great conversation with him before we released him and would never rule out the possibility of bringing him back—whether that’s now, later in the spring, or even during the season,” Beane said.
Buffalo is facing tight cap constraints for the rest of the offseason, even before the Draft. While the team may want Miller back, making a reunion happen would require some creative financial maneuvering.
