Buffalo Bills release veteran pass-rusher Von Miller, freeing $8.4 million in cap space

The Buffalo Bills have officially decided to release veteran pass-rusher Von Miller as part of a strategy to clear cap space ahead of free agency. By cutting Miller, who is set to turn 36, the team will save approximately $8.4 million against the salary cap, while Miller's previous six-year, $120 million contract from 2022 allowed for this option after three years. Although Miller's performance has declined, he remains an acclaimed player with a history of success, including being an eight-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl MVP. Both Miller and the Bills are reportedly open to the possibility of a reunion at a lower salary. The decision comes as the Bills also sign several other players to long-term contracts, indicating a busy offseason. This move marks a significant moment for both Miller and the Bills as they navigate the upcoming free agency period.
