In a surprising move, the Buffalo Bills have decided to retain star pass rusher Von Miller for the 2025 season. Despite speculation that the team might cut ties or ask Miller to take another pay cut due to his age and high salary, this decision confirms the Bills’ trust in his contributions.

Von Miller, now 36, signed a six-year, $120 million contract with the Bills in 2022. In the 2024 season, he agreed to a pay cut, reducing his base salary from $17.5 million to $8.85 million, with performance-based incentives. Despite missing four games due to suspension, Miller recorded six sacks and 17 tackles, proving his value as a key defensive player.

Earlier, many analysts predicted that the Bills might either restructure Miller’s contract further or release him to free up cap space. However, keeping him on the roster highlights the team’s appreciation for his leadership and experience, especially as they aim for a deeper playoff run next season.

Miller has openly expressed his desire to continue contributing to the Bills and pursuing another Super Bowl title. He stated, “I still have the passion and energy to play at the highest level. I believe I can make a significant impact in our championship journey.”

This decision not only secures a proven veteran and leader but also sends a strong message about the Bills’ commitment to their current roster. With Miller at the helm of their defense, Buffalo is expected to remain one of the league’s most formidable defensive units in the 2025 season.

Retaining Von Miller could be a strategic move to maintain stability and strength on defense while inspiring the entire team as they chase Super Bowl glory.
