Buffalo Bills Release Veteran Pass Rusher Von Miller in Cost-Cutting Move

The 35-year-old, a two-time Super Bowl champion and future Hall of Famer, plans to continue his NFL career as a free agent.

The Buffalo Bills released Von Miller to save $8.4 million in salary cap space, though the move incurs $15.42 million in dead money for 2025.
Miller, who signed a six-year, $120 million contract with the Bills in 2022, had no remaining guarantees in his deal and is now free to explore opportunities with other teams.
Despite injuries and declining production, Miller recorded six sacks in 2024 and remains the NFL's active leader in career sacks with 129.5, ranking 16th all-time.
Both the Bills and Miller are reportedly open to a potential reunion on a more team-friendly contract, though other contenders may also pursue him.
Miller's release follows Buffalo's decision to extend defensive end Greg Rousseau, signaling a shift toward younger talent in their pass-rushing unit.
