The Los Angeles Rams shook up the NFL landscape once again on Monday afternoon when they acquired future Hall of Famer Von Miller from the Denver Broncos.
It was another “all in” move from Les Snead and Sean McVay, who are no strangers to trading draft capital for proven talent. The team hasn’t made a first-round pick since 2016, sending the majority of those picks out the door for players such as Jalen Ramsey and Matthew Stafford.
Miller is a more unique situation than those two, as he’s in the final year of his contract and will be a free agent in 2022. There’s a chance the Rams just dealt a second- and third-round pick, their two highest picks in the 2022 NFL draft, for half a season of Von Miller. They will try to re-sign him, per Albert Breer, but nothing is certain.
Will the Rams be able to bring back Miller following the 2021 season, and what happens if they don’t? Let’s take a dive into the future implications of this trade.
