Von Miller’s decision to sign with the Bills as a free agent was one of the most important events in the early days of free agency.
Miller was seen as a good bet to stay with the Rams after helping them win the Super Bowl after last season’s trade, and both sides were talking about a new deal up to the point where Miller chose Buffalo’s offer. At Thursday’s press conference, Miller said he made the call because he believes Buffalo will win the Super Bowl, whether he was on the roster or not.
“I saw what makes Aaron Donald Aaron Donald and it was hard to get away from that,” Miller said. via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. “The only way to get away from it is to get into something special. And what they do here is absolutely special. [The Bills are] Gonna win the Super Bowl with or without me. They’ve made an amazing team.”
Miller won the Super Bowl with the Broncos and Rams, so a win with the Bills would make him a winner with three different teams. It would also mean that they were able to survive an increasingly busy AFC thanks in part to their willingness to take the big swing for Miller.
