Buffalo Bills reinforce the depth at the narrow end by signing OJ Howard by Brandon Croce
It was 10 years ago that the Buffalo Bills made a big splash in the free agency when they signed Mario Williams to a $ 100 million contract. A decade later, the bills once again sign one of the top defensive ends available by agreeing to a six-year deal with former Los Angeles Rams passer Rusher Von Miller.
According to them According to Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network, the deal is worth a maximum of $ 120 million with $ 52 million in total guarantees and will pay $ 53 million over the first three years.
Miller spent most of his career with the Denver Broncos after being drafted second overall in 2011. He would stay for 10 years before being traded to the Los Angeles Rams last season.
Von Miller would play a major role in the Rams’ playoff success with four sacks during the playoffs and helped them win the Super Bowl over the Cincinnati Bengals. He currently leads the NFL among active players in sacks with 115.5, a total he can now improve in Western New York.
Buffalo Bills get the top tier Edge Rusher to transform their defense
The Buffalo Bills had one of the top defenses in the NFL but one area they really struggled with was consistent pressure on the quarterback. This has been a topic for a few years now and the bills have drawn a number of players to the position, but it still lacks the one player who should always consider the insults.
That’s exactly what Von Miller can do now for this defense and helps take some pressure off young players like Greg Rousseau, Boogie Basham, and even Ed Oliver in the interior. It’s not surprising that the last two Super Bowl champions, the Rams last year, and the Bucs last year were able to put consistent pressure on the quarterback.
The Buffalo Bills certainly had to pay a premium price to achieve this, but now have the most talented pass-rusher since joining Mario Williams 10 years ago.
