Ravens Predicted to Land Future Hall-of-Famer in Stunning Free Agency Signing

The Baltimore Ravens are coming off a 12 win season - their third time in franchise history with three consecutive double-digit win seasons - that ended in disappointment. The Ravens dropped the AFC Divisional Round in with a heartbreaking 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In response, the Ravens may add a key defensive member of the Bills.

The Bills released Von Miller this offseason - who just three years ago inked a six-year, $120 million contract with the team. 

Miller is the NFL's active leader in sacks with 129.5 in his career. Only 14 of those came in his three years in Buffalo, three years that were largely defined by injuries and snap count limits. 

Miller played just 33% of defensive snaps for the Bills over the past two seasons, and after failing to register a sack in 2023, he had something of a bounce back in 2024, recording six sacks, with seven of his 17 tackles being for loss.

Sports Illustrated's Jarrett Bailey predicted free agents the Ravens could sign in a recent article, and among the top names was Von Miller. 

"It's been talked about plenty, but the Ravens and adding veteran defenders — specifically in the front seven — is something they are known for doing," Bailey wrote. "You don't want Miller as a three-down player at this stage of his career, but utilizing him like a closer in baseball in the biggest moments of the game could prove to be beneficial." 

If the team were to sign Miller, he'd be joining one of the NFL's premiere pass rush units. The Ravens were second in the NFL in sacks with 54.

Kyle Van Noy led the charge for the Ravens with 12.5 sacks of his own, but heading into his age-34 season, it's tough to predict a similar output, so adding veteran reinforcements makes sense. 

The team's other double-digit sack man, Odafe Oweh, is also a question mark to replicate his success. His previous career high was five sacks, which he doubled in 2024. 

Miller could slide in nicely as a rotational edge rusher, joining a highly productive unit for the Ravens.
