The Buffalo Bills shocked the NFL by announcing the signing of outside linebacker Von Miller to a six-year, $120 million contract earlier this week, and the eight-time Pro Bowler himself seemed to be the most enthused about the agreement.
Miller seemed to be ecstatic to be a member of Bills Mafia in the first video he posted on Instagram minutes after the news broke.
The former second-overall choice in the 2011 NFL Draft posted the first shot of himself in a Bills jersey on Instagram on Friday, March 18, and it immediately piled up over 100,000 likes.

“‘Von Biller’ Bills Mafia,” Miller captioned a picture developed by his agency Vanguard Sports. “It was GOODT.”
This image is still much superior than one of Pardon My Take’s earlier renditions of what Miller might look like in a jersey, which was published on Twitter.
According to Bills Wire, Miller has 115.5 sacks, 233 quarterback hits, 154 tackles for a loss, 27 forced fumbles, 22 passes defended, and two interceptions in his 11-year career.
On Saturday, further details of Miller’s $120 million contract were revealed.
Last night, LB Von Miller and the @buffalobills reached an agreement on a six-year deal.

Miller’s signing was unexpected, not only because there had been no prior rumors tying him to Buffalo, but also because Bills general manager Brandon Beane said at his playoff news conference that the club would not be “big spenders” this summer due to the salary limit crunch.
While Miller’s contract came as a shock at first, after dissecting it, it seems that the Bills are only committed to him for three years. “The first time Von Miller’s deal has a ‘cap relief; for the Bills if they were to release him is after the 2024 season, when they would clear $13.75 million but take on a dead cap charge of $7.41 million,” WGR 550’s Sal Capaccio said on Twitter. Financially, there isn’t much of a chance till then.”
“There’s a high possibility the #Bills convert Von Miller’s $13.3M roster bonus for 2023 into signing bonus, cutting next year’s cap hit to $8M, but boosting the 2025 dead cap to $15.4M,” Spotrac.com’s official Twitter account said.
Von Miller’s contract with the #Bills (h/t @ProFootballTalk) – 6 years, $120 million – $45 million guaranteed upon signing – Another $6 million is locked up for March ’24 – 3 years, $52.5 million practical
Cap Hits 2022: $5.1 million 2023: $18.7 million 2024: $21.2 million 2025: $21.2 million 2026: $23.7 million 2027: $30 million

“#Bills contract with Von Miller is effectively 3 years and $52.5 million,” Thad Brown of WROC TV tweeted on Saturday, March 18. Unless there’s a renegotiation, no more, no less… Brandon Beane did all he could to get that huge edge rusher. He displayed the cash to him. It’s the correct decision.”
Beane explained his choice to deviate from his usual spending habits to add Miller this offseason to the media on Friday:
I want to construct and expand our own, but I’ll never turn down an opportunity to explore what’s out there. And in this situation, we’ve all seen what he’s proved he’s still got down the stretch of the playoffs.
I’ve seen pass rushers in the NFL’s past perform admirably late in their careers, far into their 30s. I get the concern that he’s in his early 30s, but you didn’t see anything with the Rams down the stretch that indicated he didn’t have it or was on the decline in any way. As a result, it made sense.
Miller wants to win three Super Bowls with three different teams.
Miller is obviously a potential Hall of Famer, but it looks that he wants to achieve something no other NFL player has ever done: win three Super Bowl championships with three separate teams. Miller helped the Denver Broncos win Super Bowl 50, and he was awarded the game’s MVP, before lifting the Lombardi Trophy with the Rams.
“Per @ESPNStatsInfo: Von Miller is one of four Super Bowl MVPs to win a championship with different clubs,” ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg tweeted (Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Richard Dent). “No one has ever won a championship with three separate franchises.”
What pulled Miller to Buffalo in the end was the opportunity to work with a squad headed by great quarterback Josh Allen. “I’m told Miller’s camp signaled their desire in Buffalo early on and a large part of it was Miller wanting to play alongside Josh Allen,” NBC Sports Boston reporter Albert Breer tweeted.
