Von Miller‘s decision to sign with the Bills as a free agent was one of the biggest developments of the early days of free agency.
Miller was seen as a good bet to remain with the Rams after helping them to a Super Bowl win after last season’s trade and the two sides were talking about a new deal up to the point that Miller chose the Buffalo offer.

And what they’re doing here is extremely special. [The Bills are] gonna win a Super Bowl with or without me. They’ve built an amazing team.”
Miller has won Super Bowls with the Broncos and Rams, so a Bills win would put him in rarified air as a winner with three different teams. It would also mean that they were able to outlast an increasingly loaded AFC thanks in part to their willingness to take a big swing for Miller.
