On Wednesday, it appears Buffalo is making a massive move that is sure to shake up the AFC once again. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Bills are signing Von Miller.
The deal is reportedly for six years, worth $120 million. Miller is considered to be one of the most sought after free agents on the market. He is coming off another stellar year, helping the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl championship. Miller was traded to the Rams midway through the 2021 NFL season in exchange for a 2nd round and 3rd round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
He once again made his mark felt in the Super Bowl, with two sacks on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. It's Miller's second title in his illustrious career. He previously won the Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 2015, when he also won Super Bowl MVP.
The Bills were in need of some help on the defensive line. Their pass rush was too inconsistent last season. That showed its ugly head in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round. The Bills now add a premier pass rusher to help run down some of the AFC's talented quarterbacks.
That appears to be a lot of teams strategies in the AFC. Earlier Wednesday, the Las Vegas Raiders signed Pro Bowler Chandler Jones. The Los Angeles Chargers added future Hall of Famer Khalil Mack; meanwhile, the Denver Broncos inked former Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory.
The AFC's arms race is likely far from done.
