Von
Miller’s last two weeks have been full of ups and downs and now he will be saying
goodbye to his NFL team as the Denver Broncos are trading outside
linebacker to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for several 2022
second and third round draft picks.

Miller,
32, has been in the NFL for 11 seasons and all of them spent with the Broncos.
He is an eight-time Pro Bowler and has been a first-team All-Pro three times. He
also played a key role in winning Super Bowl 50 for the Broncos and was named
Super Bowl MVP.

The
Broncos are struggling as a franchise right now. At 4-4, they’re in the top of
the AFC West race. Miller will now get a chance to compete for a title while
also providing the Broncos a valuable return for the 32 year-old veteran on the
final year of a six-year, $114.5 million deal. Trading him now gives the Broncos second and
third-round draft picks so they can actually start that looming rebuild.

Now Miller will join the
Rams’ defense, where he’ll join forces with Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey. Los
Angeles will be glad to have them for the rest of 2021.

Miller
has had a productive season till now, he has 4.5 sacks with nine QB hits in
2021, a decent rebound after he missed the entire 2020 season with an ankle
injury. Over his 11-year career, Miller has 110.5 sacks, 225 QB hits, and 142
tackles for a loss.

Miller was
dropped out of the Broncos’ Week 7 game due to an ankle injury, and didn’t play
in Sunday’s win against Washington. However, Schefter reported that Miller will
make his Rams debut in Week 9.
