As previously reported, Von Miller will be returning to the AFC, but not the Broncos. He will be joining the Bills, though.
Since the beginning of the 2021 NFL season, Miller has played for three different teams. He was dealt to the Rams just before the 2021 NFL trade deadline. He had spent the first 9 and a half years of his professional career in Denver.
Miller played a major role in the Los Angeles Rams’ first Super Bowl victory since 2000. Now, he’s working to help Buffalo win the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. And he’ll get paid very well for his trouble.
Miller’s new contract with the Bills will make him one of the highest-paid defensive players in the NFL. To give you an idea of how much money the 33-year-old pass-rusher will make, we’ve broken it down for you below.
The Bills have committed $120 million over the next six years to pay Von Miller for his services to the team. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network was the first to report the contract’s terms.
Miller will be one of the highest-paid defensive players in the NFL with a yearly average worth of $20 million. Before Miller signed his contract, just ten people were making $20 million or more annually
Miller’s deal has an average annual value (AAV) of $20 million, although the first four years are apparently worth only roughly $17.5 million, according to Rapoport’s reporting.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, just $51.5 million of Miller’s contract is guaranteed, and $45 million of that is completely guaranteed at signing.
