Bills pen star linebacker Von Miller to massive six-year deal

Fresh off a Super Bowl victory with the Rams, Von Miller is getting paid to join the Buffalo Bills, picking up a huge six-year deal.

The Rams wanted to keep Von Miller after he helped them win a Super Bowl. The Cowboys were reportedly lurking around. But it’s the Buffalo Bills who swooped in to get the Pro Bowl linebacker.

On Wednesday, Ian Rapoport broke the news of Miller’s decision to sign with the Bills.

Von Miller signs six-year, $120 million deal with the Bills

How did Buffalo entice the linebacker to head east? The contract is worth $120 million over six years, according to reports.

Since Miller was expected to get a deal ranging from $14-16 million, that’s a huge payday for the 33-year-old.

The eight-time Pro Bowler was traded from the Broncos to the Rams last fall. He played eight regular season games with five sacks and 12 tackles for loss. In four playoff games he had four sacks and six tackles for loss.

Miller has already taken two franchises to Super Bowl glory. Could he make it a triple?

The Bills were built to contend and their defense just got a major boost in terms of on-field and in-the-locker room leadership. With Josh Allen running the show on offense and Miller creating havoc on defense, the AFC will have to watch out for Buffalo in 2022.

The question is whether Miller’s body will hold up. The length of the contract is a risk but if the linebacker helps get the franchise an elusive Super Bowl victory then it’ll all be worth it.

In addition to Miller, Buffalo added tight end O.J. Howard on a one-year deal on Wednesday. In a matter of two strokes of a pen, the Bills got that much stronger on both offense and defense.
