Von Miller was signed by the Bills. (1:21)
The Buffalo Bills sat at home watching the Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs were defeated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They saw the Los Angeles Rams swarm Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow to win the title.
It's important to pressuring the quarterback to reach that elusive trophy.
The Bills selected a defensive end in the first and second rounds. The season ended for the second year in a row with a loss. The team still lacked a pass-rusher to dominate the line of scrimmage, despite Buffalo finishing with the No. 1 defense and generating pressure at the second-highest rate in the NFL.
Von Miller is a two-time Super Bowl champion.
One of the best pass-rushers in NFL history and the active career sacks leader was added to the Bills. Miller could be the missing piece the Bills defense needs to complete a championship run in what is set up to be an AFC stacked with elite quarterbacks. Not bad for the first day of the season.
It has been crazy for four hours, Miller said in a video that has since been removed. I love a lot of things in L.A., but I'm moving to Buffalo. What's good about the Bills Mafia? Is 40 open?
According to sources, the Bills agreed to terms with Miller on a six-year, $120 million contract that includes $51.5 million fully guaranteed with 45 million fully guaranteed at signing. It is nearly double the amount of any other current contract signed by a defensive player in their 30s.
Brandon Beane, the general manager, signed a big-time player to a contract that has the potential to push money down the road. Buffalo usually sticks to smaller, more cost-effective free-agency signings.
I will always put resources in the front. It is just how I believe it should be built, according to Billy Beane.
The front seven of the Bills has invested a lot. Miller will join first-round picks Ed Oliver and Greg Rousseau, as well as second- and free-agent additions DaQuan Jones and Tim Settle.
