Von Miller, a two-time Super Bowl champion and former Super Bowl MVP, has agreed to a two-year contract with the Denver Broncos worth up to $8 million. This agreement marks a significant return for Miller, who was released by the Buffalo Bills in March 2025 after three seasons with the team.
Miller’s release from the Bills was part of the team’s efforts to free up salary cap space, amounting to $8.4 million. Despite his departure, there was potential for the Bills to renegotiate terms with Miller.
However, Miller’s decision to rejoin the Broncos underscores his enduring commitment to the team with which he began his illustrious career.
Originally selected by the Broncos as the second overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Miller quickly established himself as a formidable presence on the field. He earned the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in his first season, recording 11.5 sacks. In 2012, he set a franchise record with 18.5 sacks, further solidifying his status as one of the league’s premier linebackers.
Miller’s tenure with the Broncos was marked by numerous accolades, including four Pro Bowl selections and four All-Pro honors. His performance in Super Bowl 50 was particularly noteworthy; he recorded 2.5 sacks and forced two fumbles, earning the Super Bowl MVP title.
In 2016, Miller signed a six-year, $114.5 million contract with the Broncos, with $70 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid defensive player at the time.
However, following the 2021 season, Miller signed with the Los Angeles Rams, where he contributed to their Super Bowl victory. He returned to the Bills in 2022 but was released in March 2025.
Miller’s return to the Broncos not only bolsters the team’s defense but also brings back a leader with deep ties to the franchise’s history. Fans and teammates alike are eager to see the impact of his experience and skill on the field in the upcoming seasons.
