McDermott, who was hired as the team's head coach in 2017, used his own experience to show Miller that he understood the indecision he was experiencing. and I started to feel a whole lot better,' Miller said.īut the visit paid by coach Sean McDermott seemed to bring Miller over the edge of uncertainty to sign his lucrative contract. and I hear a knock on the door and it was coach (Eric) Washington and coach (Leslie) Frazier that came in and broke down exactly how they gonna use me on the defense. 'I'm sitting there talking to Joby for like 45 minutes. While keeping the Bills staff waiting, he got a surprise visit from two top assistants. The back-and-forth battle in his own head continued for nearly an hour as Miller continued to talk with his agent, Joby Branion, about what to do.

To get a sense of much he wanted to return to LA, look no further. The 6-3, 250-pound linebacker was huddled in the bathroom with his brother and cameraman upon his first arrival. I asked 'Can I go to the bathroom?' Went to the bathroom with my little brother and my cameraman and I'm taking to these guys like 'Man, I don't know what to do. 'Then they were like 'Okay let's go upstairs and sign the contract,' and was like 'Dang, I gotta go sign a contract?' I went upstairs, my agent was there. and everybody and I started to feel a little bit better.īut then, the reality of the situation hit Miller: he was at the threshold of making one of the biggest decisions in his career. I started to meet all the guys that's working at the facility from the trainers, the support system.

But when I got there and drove up to the facility, I started to feel a little bit better. We went to get some food - didn't like the food - it's just hard coming from LA to Buffalo. 'I got on the plane and I'm gonna go out here and tell (the Bills) like 'I know what I said, I'll pay for the jet that you guys flew me out here with, but I'm going back to the Rams.' And I got there, landed, it was cold. 'I really don't want to leave the Rams,' he said. Miller admitted he even considered telling the Bills to fly him back and he would offer to cover the private jet fees that they just spent on him.
