The Buffalo Bills are releasing eight-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Von Miller, according to reports.
Miller, who is set to turn 36 later this month, was due to receive $17.5million this year with no guarantees, meaning his exit will free up space on the team’s salary cap.
Buffalo was $8.6m in the red before releasing the two-time Super Bowl winner, who owned an 8.5 cap percentage for the Bills.
According to NFL insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, however, both parties are open to a potential return ahead of the 2025 season.
Miller spent the last three seasons in Buffalo after his famous 11-year stint with the Denver Broncos and a brief spell with the Los Angeles Rams.
He helped both the Broncos and Rams get their hands on the Super Bowl, but was unable to inspire the Bills to a first-ever appearance in football’s biggest game.
Last season Buffalo suffered heartbreak in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs, who were eventually dismantled by the Philadelphia Eagles in the New Orleans showpiece.
Miller’s time with the Bills proved a major disappointment after he arrived fresh from his second Super Bowl triumph with a reputation as one of the best pass rushers of his era.
Yet due to injuries and off-field issues, the NFL legend has failed to live up to expectations since arriving at Highmark Stadium.
