Von Miller landing spots: Best fits for two-time Super Bowl champion after release from Bills
‘Miller, who turns 36-years-old on March 26, has just six sacks across the last two seasons, but he and the Bills are open to a return on a new deal ahead of his 14th NFL season, per NFL Media. He signed a six-year, $120 million deal with Buffalo in the 2022 offseason after helping lead the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl LVI title to conclude the 2021 season. Miller, the second overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, leads the entire NFL in sacks since 2010 with 129.5, a figure that also ranks as the 16th-most since sacks became an officially tracked individual statistic in 1982.’
NFL's highest-paid QBs: Josh Allen gets biggest guarantee ever, Dak Prescott remains highest-paid per year
‘Allen is one of the NFL’s all-time great success stories. Regarded as extremely physically talented but raw and inaccurate coming out of Wyoming, Allen was selected seventh overall in 2018. After a so-so rookie season that included plenty of flashes but also more interceptions (12) than touchdown passes (10), Allen improved in his second year and then took a huge jump his third year, finishing second in MVP voting. He has been outstanding ever since, and over the past five seasons only the Chiefs have won more games.’

In massive deal for Josh Allen, Bills get ahead of next wave of QB raises
‘Why now? Perhaps the Bills are trying to get ahead of a new wave of quarterbacks getting substantial raises, even with nine now already making $50 million a year or more. NFL teams are normally hesitant to tear up a contract with more than one year left on it, so doing so with four years left is unconventional to say the least. Allen in August 2021 had signed a six-year, $258 million contract. His new deal represents a 28% raise on the per-year value, exceeded only by Dak Prescott’s $60 million per year.’

Why did Bills release Von Miller? Contract savings could be crucial ahead of NFL free agency
