Von Miller's three-year tenure with the Buffalo Bills has been tumultuous, marred by injuries and off-field issues. Despite being a former Super Bowl MVP and signing a lucrative six-year deal worth over $120 million, Miller managed only 14 sacks during his time with the team. In a recent statement, Bills general manager Brandon Beane acknowledged Miller's contributions but indicated that the team decided to part ways due to his declining performance relative to his salary.

The release of Miller marks a significant shift for the Bills, who are looking to recalibrate and perhaps find new talent that fits into their scheme without the burden of a hefty contract on the books. While Beane expressed deep appreciation for Miller's influence and work ethic, the decision underscores the harsh realities of the NFL, where performance often dictates contracts.
