Von Miller is the best pass-rusher remaining on the free agent market after Chandler Jones agreed to a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Wednesday, and one team feels very good about their chances of signing him.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Los Angeles Rams are working on a deal to re-sign Miller. While other teams are in the mix, those teams are said to be “convinced” that Miller will be back with the Rams.
What’s next in the pass-rush world? The #Rams are working to bring pass-rusher Von Miller back, sources say. Nothing done. Other teams are still pushing. But they are convinced he’s headed back to the champs.

Miller has been open about wanting to return to the Rams, but the 32-year-old is smart to leave all of his options open. There are reportedly at least two other teams that have been pursuing him.

Miller recently dropped some hints about returning to the Denver Broncos, but that was likely an attempt to bolster his own market. The Rams may need to keep Miller if they want to re-sign another star player. It sounds like they are well on their way.
