Von Miller Rumors: Rams Will Make 'Concerted Effort' to Re-Sign Star in Free Agency

The Los Angeles Rams are reportedly expected to make an attempt to re-sign veteran pass-rusher Von Miller in free agency.

Boardroom's Jordan Schultz reported Wednesday that the Rams are going to make a "concerted effort" to re-sign Miller despite knowing his market will be robust. Schultz added that the Rams are open to a one-year deal or a multiyear contract.

Miller played a big role in helping the Rams reach and win Super Bowl LVI, as they defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 on Sunday night.

L.A. acquired Miller from the Denver Broncos in a midseason trade after Miller spent his first 11 years in the league with the team that drafted him.

The new surroundings suited Miller well, as he had five sacks in eight regular-season games with the Rams and another four sacks during their four-game playoff run. That included two sacks of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow in the Rams' Super Bowl triumph.

Prior to the 2021 season, Miller hadn't played in a playoff game since the 2015 season. Miller had five sacks during that playoff run, including 2.5 in the Broncos' win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, which resulted in him being named Super Bowl MVP.

Miller now has nine sacks over his past two playoff runs, making him one of the greatest pass-rushers in postseason history.

The 32-year-old Miller is also among the best regular-season pass-rushers in history, as evidenced by his eight Pro Bowl nods, three first-team All-Pro selections and 115.5 sacks.

Miller is a surefire future Hall of Famer, but he proved during the playoffs that he still has plenty of gas left in the tank.

The Rams went all in on trying to win a Super Bowl last season by trading for quarterback Matthew Stafford and Miller, as well as signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., and that strategy worked.

The only issue is it will require the Rams to do some financial maneuvering this offseason to keep all or most of their core in place.

Miller will undoubtedly have plenty of interest on the open market, but if the Rams can prevent superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald from retiring, it may be enough to convince Miller to run it back since he and Donald are close friends and complement each other to near perfection on the field.
