Von Miller excited to be part of 'something special' with Buffalo Bills

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The smile didn't return to Von Miller's face until the contract was signed and his decision became reality. That was when Von Miller felt like Von Miller once again.

Miller chose to join his third team in his professional career, signing a six-year, $120 million contract with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday. The deal includes $51 million fully guaranteed.

Despite the substantial deal for the eight-time Pro Bowler, the decision to come to Buffalo was not an easy one. The 32-year-old heavily considered returning to the Super Bowl LVI champion Los Angeles Rams, the team that traded for him to make a title run.

«I saw what makes Aaron Donald Aaron Donald, and it was hard to walk away from that,» Miller said. «The only way you can walk away from that is to walk into something special. And what they're doing here is extremely special. (The Bills are) gonna win a Super Bowl with or without me. They've built an amazing team.»

With the decision of where to go all up to him this time around, Miller did contemplate a return to the Broncos. The stress came from the decision-making process being much more difficult than he originally thought.

«I wasn't expecting it to be like that,» Miller said. «I was expecting you win the Super Bowl, you got your offers out here, where do you want to go, pick, go back to the Rams. But it was tough man, it came down to the very end.»

He compared the process to something quite relatable.

"… I feel like I let (the Rams) down," Miller said. «I feel like I'm breaking up with my girlfriend. That's just me and the way I go about my business. But this was the one time in my life where I had to make a decision for me.»
