Von Miller appears to have a new team.

The Denver Broncos traded the eight-time Pro Bowl and three-time All-Pro linebacker to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday for 2022 and 2023 second-round draft picks, according to multiple reports.

Miller is making $17.5 million this season and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2022.

While having him on the Rams is surely going to make the Los Angeles defense even better, he’s not exactly the same linebacker from two years ago. Miller contracted the coronavirus and suffered a season-ending injury during training camp in 2020. He also suffered a sprained ankle in Week 7 this season and didn’t play Sunday against the Washington Football Team.

Through seven games this season, Miller has recorded 19 tackles and 4.5 sacks while he gets back up to speed. He played in 33 snaps before suffering the ankle injury.

Overall, Miller has been one of the most fearsome linebackers. The 32-year-old pass rusher was the 2011 Defensive Rookie of the Year and helped the team to a Super Bowl during the 2015 season.

He will now be among the superstars in the Rams defense next to Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.
