The Buffalo Bills may be eyeing another pass rusher to add to their roster this offseason before the 2026 NFL Draft, and they could potentially reunite with an old friend.
Bills Urged to Take a Chance on Von Miller
Pass rusher Von Miller is currently a free agent after spending last season with the Washington Commanders and the Buffalo Bills On SI writer Alex Brasky believes the Billsshould have take a chance on Miller.
“The first go-around with Miller in Buffalo did not work out all that well, with the veteran sustaining a knee injury in his first season with the team, which impacted his ability to live up to the six-year, $120 million contract he signed to begin his Bills tenure. Miller recorded just 14 sacks while appearing in 36 games across three seasons in Buffalo,” Brasky wrote on Monday.
“With that said, the soon-to-be 37-year-old showed signs of life during the 2025 campaign, which he finished with nine sacks for the Washington Commanders while playing just 37% of the team’s defensive snaps as a pass-rush specialist. His sack total ranked 19th in the league, one slot ahead of the Bills’ prized free-agent EDGE Bradley Chubb, who finished ’25 with 8.5 sacks.”
Buffalo Signed Miller in 2022
Miller signed with the Bills in 2022 and played three seasons with the team, appearing in 36 games and starting in 11. He recorded 14 sacks during his time there.
The Bills likely thought they would get more from Miller when they signed him, but he didn’t deliver much on the field. This could be one reason Buffalo failed to reach the Super Bowl during his time with the Bills.
Miller is a 14-year veteran who spent the first 10 years of his career with the Denver Broncos, where he played a key role in their Super Bowl 50 victory, earning the game’s MVP.
In 2021, the Broncos traded him to the Los Angeles Rams, where he made a significant impact and helped the team win a Super Bowl in a short time.
There is a strong possibility that Miller, who is 36, could be facing retirement soon. However, the Bills might consider giving him another shot, especially since Spotrac has listed his market value at just $5.8 million per season.
Joey Bosa Might Not Return to Buffalo
If the Bills are looking to bring on another veteran pass rusher, it could signal that the Joey Bosa era is coming to an end. Bosa joined Buffalo last offseason on a $12.6 million contract and participated in 15 games, recording five sacks.
The Bills did not reach a contract extension with Bosa during the regular season or at the beginning of the offseason. Furthermore, they made no effort to sign him during the first week of free agency, which likely indicates they lack interest in bringing him back. Instead, Buffalo signed former Miami Dolphins pass rusher Bradley Chubb, who is expected to step into Bosa’s role. Yet, if the Bills also sign Miller, he could emerge in a rotational role.
