Former Los Angeles Rams pass-rusher Von Miller said he is excited to be part of 'something special' with the Buffalo Bills after signing a six-year, ...

Playing alongside Donald and the rest of the Rams defense, Miller had a dominating postseason. "I wasn't expecting it to be like that," Miller said. "... I feel like I let (the Rams) down," Miller said. The Super Bowl 50 MVP credited numerous Rams players and members of coaching and front office staff for his time in Los Angeles and for making his decision that much more difficult. "I saw what makes Aaron Donald Aaron Donald, and it was hard to walk away from that," Miller said. Despite the substantial deal for the eight-time Pro Bowler, the decision to come to Buffalo was not an easy one, he said.

A lack of draft stock and cap room leaves LA with thin options for replacing the two vets.

Regardless of what happens, LA still has options to work with. LA general manager Les Snead dealt 12 draft picks leading up to and during the 2021 season. One of these moves included restructuring the contract of linebacker Leonard Floyd, which freed up $12 million for the team.

Von Miller signing with Bills on six-year, $120M deal; Buffalo also adds TE O.J. Howard (unknown)

Von Miller is signing a six-year, $120 million deal to join the Buffalo Bills, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday.

Rob Gronkowski's arrival on the heels of Tom Brady's move south took away opportunities from Howard, who started just nine games in 2021 and caught a total of 25 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns in the two seasons in which he shared the field with Brady. A former first-round pick out of Alabama in 2017, Howard got off to a strong stat, catching 26 passes for 432 yards and six touchdowns in his first NFL season before repeatedly encountering injury struggles. In simple terms, Miller's deal is massive for a player who turns 33 before the end of March. The eight-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro has been an elite edge rusher at his peak, but injuries have hampered him in recent seasons.

Buffalo Bills sign defensive end Von Miller to a six-year deal (unknown)

It was 10 years ago that the Buffalo Bills made a big splash in free agency when they signed Mario Williams to a $100 million contract.

This has been an issue for a few years now and the Bills have drafted a number of players at the position but were still lacking that one player that offenses always had to account for. It was 10 years ago that the Buffalo Bills made a big splash in free agency when they signed Mario Williams to a $100 million contract. Miller spent most of his career with the Denver Broncos after they drafted him second overall in 2011.

During the Sean McDermott era, Buffalo has featured a perennially stout defense, with an amazingly deep front that has rotated more than any other in football.

In two postseason affairs against Patrick Mahomes, it felt like the Bills generated ample pressure to render the superstar quarterback to a level that would've allowed the Bills to outscore his offense. And many of the offenses run by those quarterbacks were able to exploit the limited sack ability of Buffalo's defenses over the past two seasons. Miller choosing Buffalo over the Broncos, Cowboys, and Rams not only emphatically signaled Buffalo is now a preferred landing spot for big-ticket players. Taking him to the ground with the ball in his hands is. In both 2020 and 2021, the Bills had eight defensive linemen play at least 25% of the snaps -- the most defenders who surpassed that mark in the NFL -- without one playing 60% of the snaps. But I decided against including most of them because the impact of Miller's signing for the Bills can be described much more succinctly in a straightforward fashion:
