Miller moves Von to Buffalo
It’s Von Miller time in Buffalo. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and coming off his second Super Bowl title agreed to a six-year contract with the Bills on Wednesday. Miller is an 11-year NFL veteran who spent his first 10-plus seasons in Denver before being traded to the Rams last season and winning the NFL championship.
At 32, Miller brings a veteran presence to a young group of starting linebackers made up of Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano. With Buffalo playing a hybrid style defense, there’s a chance for Miller to provide an outside pass-rushing presence. He has 115.5 career sacks.
The Bills also announced reaching a one-year agreement to sign tight O.J. Howard, who spent his first five seasons with the Buccaneers.
RAIDERS: After the top cornerbacks available in free agency signed elsewhere, the Raiders got creative and signed four-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher Chandler Jones to a contract worth about $17 million per year, according to NFL Network. Adding Jones then allowed the Raiders to make a corresponding deal to trade pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue to the Colts for cornerback Rock Ya-Sin.
Ngakoue, 26, signed a twoyear, $26 million contract in free agency last season and had 10 sacks in his only season with the Raiders.
BUCCANEERS: Chris Godwin and Tampa Bay agreed to terms on a threeyear, $60 million extension, according to reports, meaning the Bucs receiver won’t play the upcoming season on the franchise tag.
TITANS: A person familiar with the move says the Titans will release seventime Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones in a move to clear salary cap space.
COMMANDERS: After agreeing Tuesday to sign a $7 million, two-year deal with the Bills, running back J.D. McKissic reversed course and decided to return to the Commanders under the same terms, according to a person with knowledge of the move.
