Commanders' Von Miller: Expected to join Commanders
Von Miller and the Washington Commanders are finalizing terms of a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Miller was released by the Bills in March but made clear that he wanted to continue his playing career. A short-term deal makes sense given that he's entering his age-36 season, as does the fact that he's joining a team that has a realistic chance of reaching the postseason. The Commanders had a relative weakness at edge and pass rush entering training camp, so Miller should be a significant lift to the unit after logging 6.0 sacks across 13 regular-season games in 2024.

Von Miller: Set to be released
The Bills are releasing Von Miller, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.After finishing 2023 with no sacks in 12 regular-season games, Miller enjoyed a bit of a bounce-back in 2024, recording 6.0 sacks over 13 regular-season contests. However, Buffalo is electing to cut ties -- at least temporarily -- with the veteran pass rusher in order to free up $8.4 million against the salary cap. That said, Rapoport notes that both the Bills and Miller are open to a reunion, so it's not yet certain that the soon-to-be 36-year-old will be with a new team next season.

Bills' Von Miller: Bounces back in 2024
Von Miller recorded 17 tackles (13 solo), including 6.0 sacks, over 13 regular-season games in 2024.Miller's playing time (13 regular-season contests, 268 defensive snaps) was nearly equal to what he logged in 2023 (12 games, 239 snaps). However, his output was significantly better -- after finishing without a sack last season, the veteran pass rusher tied for second on Buffalo in that category with 6.0 sacks this year. He did miss four games in October due to a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy, but Miller was mostly healthy and typically logged around one-third of the Buffalo Bills' defensive snaps when he was in the lineup. He has three seasons remaining on the six-year deal he signed with Buffalo in 2022, and per Tyler Dunne of Bleacher Report, the eight-time Pro Bowler intends to play at least one more season. It's not a guarantee the Bills will bring him back however, as they can save over $17.4 million in cap space by cutting him after June 1.

Bills' Von Miller: Fountain of youth?
Von Miller posted two tackles, including a sack, in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.That's sacks in two straight games for Miller, who didn't have a single one over 12 regular-season games in 2023. He looks to have finally fought back to a semblance of his normal self following significant knee injuries. At 35 years of age, Miller won't be an elite IDP option, especially while he's playing 50 percent or less of the defensive snaps, but if sacks come at a premium in your IDP format we could see him getting 8-10 before campaign's end. The strength of the Buffalo defense lies in its line, and it's likely the team keeps trying to pressure the opponent as it works its way through significant injuries to the other defensive units.

Bills' Von Miller: Healthy during camp
Von Miller feels healthy in camp coming off surgery to his right knee, Maddy Glab and Dorian Alerte of the Buffalo Bills' official site report. "I'm feeling good," Miller said this week. "I haven't felt like this in two years... I'm feeling normal. I'm not thinking about my knee. I'm just getting back into things. Getting back in the hang of just playing football. And it feels good. It's just being meetings and not doing rehab all day and watch film to get reps with the guys and be out there. And, it's not all about my knee."Miller has 123.5 regular-season sacks in his career, but the fact that he had zero over 14 regular and postseason games last season shows that he's well past his prime at 35 years old. While he probably will be of little help in IDP leagues at this stage of his Hall of Fame career, a healthy Miller and Matt Milano (leg) could make a strong Bills defense even better.

Bills' Von Miller: Healthy ahead of 2024 campaign
Von Miller has been participating in OTAs without the use of a brace on his surgically repaired right knee, Alec White of the Buffalo Bills' official site reports. "That's something I could not do last year," Miller said after Tuesday's practice.The 35-year-old Miller hasn't played more than 12 regular-season games since 2019, as he's battled serious knee and ankle injuries in the final years of a Hall-of-Fame-worthy career. While Miller is no longer a threat for double-digit sack totals, he still has the ability to provide a major boost to Buffalo's pass rush, even as a rotational piece on the edge.
