The Denver Broncos are trading outside linebacker Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams for two 2022 NFL draft picks that will happen on the second day of the draft. Miller has spent his entire career on the Broncos after being drafted there in the 2011 NFL Draft. A new era begins in Denver as the Rams attempt to win a Super Bowl by any means necessary. The Rams are currently 7-1 in the standings on the year.

Von Miller is an eight-time Pro Bowler, a three-time All-Pro selection, and a one-time Super Bowl Champion. While a few injuries have hindered him the past couple of years, Miller is still a talented defender on the field. He now joins a defense that already has Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey on it. The Los Angeles Rams have come to compete this season.

Von Miller is a legendary linebacker and pairing him with Aaron Donald is a nightmare matchup for offensive teams. The Rams have sold most of their best draft picks to acquire talent and this move is in line with that. Miller may be on the back end of his career, but this move should help the Rams compete this season.
