Miller (knee) signed a four-year, $16.25 million contract extension with the Jaguars on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Miller, a third-round pick by the Buccaneers in 2009, has recorded just four sacks in his six professional seasons, including one this year. It was the 6-foot-2, 310-pounder's contributions in stopping the run that earned him this extension.

Jaguars placed DT Roy Miller on injured reserve, ending his season.
They signed DT Drake Nevis off the street to replace Miller for Week 17. Signed two a two-year, $4.5 million away from Tampa Bay this offseason, Miller wound up starting 15-of-15 games, operating as an early-down run stuffer. Unfortunately, he's not a great run defender. Miller is owed a $2.375 million base salary in 2014, no portion of which is guaranteed.

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell says NT Roy Miller's knee tendinitis is no longer an issue.

Mon Mar 4 201313:22Roy Miller set to reach open market
NFL.com reports free agent DT Roy Miller will reach the open market.
Talks reportedly "broke off" last week, and apparently won't restart before next Tuesday. Miller is gambling on himself after being a part of the Bucs' historically good run defense last season, but may find his market surprisingly cold. He graded out poorly in Pro Football Focus' ratings, and comes off the field in passing situations.

Mon Feb 11 201311:06Report: No 'substantive' talks for Miller/TB
The Tampa Bay Times reports there have been "no substantive contract talks" between the Bucs and free agent DT Roy Miller.
Miller was a 14-game starter for the Bucs' No. 1 run defense last season, but graded out poorly in Pro Football Focus' ratings. The 2009 third-round pick came off the bench in 2011 after starting all 16 games in 2010. Miller is a no-nonsense player, but comes off the field in passing situations. Coach Greg Schiano could be looking for "his guy" at nose tackle this offseason.

Sun Dec 9 201211:39Bucs will be without Roy Miller on Sunday
Bucs declared DT Roy Miller (head) inactive for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Eagles.
The Bucs will be forced to roll with some combination of Gary Gibson and Corey Irvin to fill Miller's sizable shoes. It's excellent news for Bryce Brown as Miller is a key piece of the Bucs' No. 1 run defense. The rest of the Bucs' inactives: CB LeQuan Lewis, RB Michael Smith, LB Najee Goode, WR David Douglas, WR David Gilreath and DT Matthew Masifilo.

Fri Dec 7 201213:48Roy Miller returns to practice Friday
Bucs NT Roy Miller (head) returned to practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Eagles.
Miller missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices, but his return on Friday suggests he's at least passed most of the NFL's protocol concussion testing. Beat writer Stephen Holder expects Miller to play against Philadelphia, although Bucs coach Greg Schiano stated Friday, "We're going to be cautious."

Thu Dec 6 201216:34Bucs run-plugger Roy Miller in question
Bucs DT Roy Miller has yet to practice this week after sustaining a head injury in Week 13.
The Bucs won't confirm that Miller was concussed, but he is being evaluated according to the NFL's guidelines for head injuries. Miller is a run-stuffing specialist on a defense allowing a league-best 82.3 rushing yards per game. His absence Sunday would be welcome news for Bryce Brown's fantasy owners.

Fri Oct 12 201213:19Roy Miller questionable with back injury
Bucs DT Roy Miller is listed as questionable for Week 6 due to a back injury.
Coach Greg Schiano described it as a "muscle spasm" that caused Miller to miss Thursday's practice, although he returned on a limited basis Friday. Miller has been a key early-down stuffer for Tampa Bay's surprisingly stout run defense. His Week 6 absence would improve Jamaal Charles' matchup.

Thu May 3 201223:44Roy Miller may lose his roster spot in Tampa
The Tampa Bay Times suggests that the Bucs' additions of Amobi Okoye and Gary Gibson could cost DT Roy Miller his roster spot.
Long a favorite of the old Bucs staff, Miller is no longer on scholarship in Tampa Bay. Miller has not been an effective interior player either in terms of pass rush or run stoppage entering his fourth NFL season. Also due $1.37 million, Miller may struggle to make the roster without an injury ahead of him.

Wed Aug 24 201109:50Miller plans on playing through pain
Bucs DT Roy Miller (partial MCL tear) admitted he'll have to play through pain the rest of the season.
Miller won't go under the knife and is targeting the final preseason game for his return. "I'm just going to have to fight through it this year," Miller said. "Everybody I've talked to that has had an MCL (tear) says it lingers." Miller played through ankle, knee and hamstring issues last year, limiting his effectiveness as a run stuffer.

Fri Aug 19 201112:03Bucs lose DT Roy Miller for rest of preseason
The St. Petersburg Times reports that Bucs DT Roy Miller is likely to miss the rest of the preseason with a partial MCL tear.
It's not a surgery-requiring injury, but could jeopardize Miller's availability for Week 1. And especially bad news with fellow DT Brian Price coming off a major pelvis operation. Miller was expected to open the season as Tampa Bay's starting defensive tackle adjacent Gerald McCoy. Keep in mind all of the injuries on the Bucs' interior for fantasy running back matchups.

Wed Dec 22 201009:09Bucs struggling vs. run without McCoy
The Bucs have allowed an average of 184.5 rushing yards per game on 6.6 YPC in the two games since DT Gerald McCoy (biceps surgery, injured reserve) went down for the season.
To make matters worse, they've been victimized by the Redskins and Lions, two teams that rank in the bottom 10 in rushing offense. It's been a group effort to replace McCoy, and Roy Miller, Frank Okam, Al Woods and Michael Bennett have all struggled. Marshawn Lynch makes for a good play against the Bucs this weekend despite his struggles.

Sat Apr 10 201018:31Bucs defensive linemen shedding weight
Bucs DL Roy Miller has joined Kyle Moore is slimming down considerably after being ordered to bulk up last season.
Both players put on upwards of 20 pounds to fit the new scheme of Jim Bates last year. Predictably, Moore missed time with a knee injury while Miller played through nagging ankle, knee, and hamstring issues. With Raheem Morris returning to the Tampa-2, the linemen are shedding the weight to regain quickness.
