Even though Von Miller was part of the Super Bowl win this year with the LA Rams, his decision to leave the team and join the Buffalo Bills startled fans. Although he had his reason. Von revealed that riding off into the sunset and rushing with Aaron Donald in the Rams did not make him content. He wished to strengthen the Bills ahead of the upcoming season.
Von’s inclusion in the Bills has made both him and the team happy. The 8x Pro-Bowler has agreed to a six-year contract worth $120 million. Miller has now become the best linebacker on the Bills’ roster. Despite the team’s significant investment in their defensive lineup for the past two drafts, Miller has become their greatest asset.
