The Buffalo Bills haven’t at all indicated that they’re shopping star pass-rusher Von Miller, but all it takes is one offer for GM Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott to make the move.
Von Miller is entering the third of a six-year, $120 million deal he signed with the Bills in 2022 free agency. But with the injury-prone Miller turning 35 years of age and coming off the worst season of his career, Buffalo should be motivated to deal the two-time Super Bowl champion.
Following yet another heartbreaking playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round, the Bills began major changes on defense by parting ways with All-Pro corner Tre’Davious White and safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde.
Miller has a 2024 cap hit of $15.154 million for the 2024 season, per OvertheCap.com. By dealing Miller, the Bills could open up space to land another impact player or two via trade and/or free agency.
There’s one team that especially makes sense as a landing spot for Von Miller via trade, and that would be the Bills’ AFC foes in the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens parted ways with two of their key edge rushers this offseason in Tyus Bowser (released) and Jadeveon Clowney (signed with the Carolina Panthers). Baltimore has a long history of successful reclamation projects, including Steve Smith Sr., Mike Wallace, Eric Weddle and Justin Houston.
Baltimore has only reached the AFC Championship Game once in the Lamar Jackson era. They clearly need big-time players with championship experience to get over the hump in the AFC, and a two-time Super Bowl champion like Miller could be the final piece.
What The Ravens Should Offer Bills For Von Miller
Since Miller is in his mid-30s and past his playing time, the Ravens shouldn’t have to give up too much in a trade. That said, Buffalo won’t just give him away to a top AFC challenger that could threaten their title hopes in 2024.
Baltimore should offer a couple of day 3 picks in the 2025 draft to the Bills for the future Hall of Famer. The Bills will be happy to clear necessary cap space while getting a couple of extra picks for one of the league’s best GMs as they embark on a rebuilding phase.
