Cowboys Adding 8-Time Pro Bowl Edge-Rusher: Report
The Dallas Cowboys bolstered their defense with the addition of a Pro Bowl pass-rusher who played for a division rival last year.
The Dallas Cowboys, plagued by a historically poor defensive performance last season, have bolstered their roster with a series of high-profile signings and trades. Among their latest additions is Von Miller, a 37-year-old eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker. Miller, hailing from Texas and a product of Texas A&M, is set to join the Cowboys midway through training camp. His move to the team was confirmed by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
A social media post from Miller himself on Instagram confirmed the news, with the caption "Hereee Weee Gooo" and a photo of himself donning a Cowboys jersey. The veteran linebacker, who boasts an impressive eight Pro Bowl selections, seven All-Pro nods, two Super Bowl titles, a Super Bowl MVP award, and a Defensive Rookie of the Year accolade, may still prove to be a valuable asset in Dallas' defensive lineup.
In 17 games with the Washington Commanders last season, Miller racked up 36 pressures, 22 hurries, nine sacks, and four quarterback hits, showing his capability as a potent situational pass-rusher. The Cowboys' defensive strategy will likely see Miller rotate alongside rookie edge-rusher Rashan Gary, Jaishawn Barham, and LT Overton, with other defensive linemen Malachi Lawrence, James Houston, Sam Williams, Kenny Clark, and Quinnen Williams backing up the unit in the middle of the defensive line.
