The Buffalo Bills are releasing Von Miller but haven’t ruled out a reunion, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
It’s a move that comes three years into a six-year, $120 million deal. The Bills will save about $8.4 million against the cap by releasing Miller, according to Spotrac.
Buffalo made plenty of headlines by signing Miller ahead of the 2022 season. For Miller, he was fresh off winning a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams. It was an opportunity for Buffalo to improve its roster after another heartbreaking playoff loss.
The Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round to end their season in the now-famous ’13 seconds’ game. Miller was signed with the expectation of boosting a defense that couldn’t yet overcome the Patrick Mahomes hurdle.
Miller has been plagued by injuries during his time in Buffalo, unable to play more than 13 games in a season. He posted 14 sacks in 36 games and didn’t register a single sack over 12 games in the 2023 regular season.
More importantly, Miller failed to make his presence known in the playoffs.
He totaled just two tackles, one fumble recovery, one quarterback hit and failed to record a sack in five playoff games for the Bills.
Miller’s cap hit was set to check in at $23.8 million for 2025 in what will be his age-36 season.
