Should the Bills bring back Von Miller for the 2026 NFL season?
It sounds like all Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane needs to do is say “yes” to Von Miller.

Recently, Miller revealed that he’d welcome the opportunity to play again for Buffalo , saying “(m)an, I’d love to go back to the Buffalo Bills,” and that the team will win the Super Bowl at the end of the 2026 NFL season.
The clip in reference is embedded below but first there’s some ground to cover on the topic. To say that Miller’s tenure with One Bills Drive endeared widespread frustration is an understatement. Of course, things started off well — and Miller was every bit the true force Buffalo needed chasing after the quarterback.
Listen… what if Von Miller returned to play for the Bills in 2026? More to the point: Do you want the Bills to bring back Von Miller in 2026 as part of a revamped defense featuring a base 3-4 system? Now 37 years old, we’re not talking about a one-day contract to retire a Bill — that honor rightfully belongs to the Denver Broncos one day in the future.
The NFL is a young man’s game, but Miller is not a typical football player. During his first season with Buffalo in 2022, Miller made an immediate impact. His season was derailed on Thanksgiving Day, when he suffered a knee injury on the turf at Ford Field in a game against the Detroit Lions.
