Von Miller has social media buzzing after hinting at his Buffalo Bills making a blockbuster trade at the 2024 NFL Draft.
On his Instagram story, Von Miller posted a video captioned “Brandon Beane arriving to the 2024 NFL draft to trade up for a WR” and “In Beane we TRUST Bills Mafia LFG.”
Two weeks ago, the Bills traded superstar wide receiver Stefon Diggs and two late-round picks to the Houston Texans in exchange for a second-round pick. Houston adjusted Diggs’ contract soon after, making him eligible for free agency next year.
Buffalo also lost its No. 2 wide receiver, Gabe Davis, to the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency. That leaves free agent pickup Curtis Samuel as the top wide receiver on the Bills roster, and he hasn’t topped 851 receiving yards in a single season.
Fortunately for the Bills, the 2024 NFL Draft is loaded with promising wide receiver prospects. With the No. 28 selection, Beane is in a good position to get a difference-maker that can help Josh Allen and the offense.
The Bills are coming off a fourth straight AFC East division-winning season. However, Von Miller and company suffered another gut-wrenching loss in the Divisional Round, falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs 27-24.
Von Miller Looks To Bounce Back In 2024
2023 was a forgettable season for Von Miller, who recorded zero sacks in 12 games. He also didn’t have a single forced fumble, fumble recovery or pass breakup.
Von Miller didn’t start any of the Bills’ regular season games, and he only had three combined tackles on the year. He also posted mostly “zeroes” in the Bills’ two postseason games, finishing with only two combined tackles.
If the Bills are to get over the hump once and for all in 2024, they’ll need the two-time Super Bowl champion to regain his superstar-like form. The Bills don’t have the necessary pass-rushing depth to bail out Miller if he has an off game, so the future Hall of Famer must bounce back this upcoming season.
