Dallas Cowboys add Von Miller to their rebuilt pass rush
Von Miller’s move to Dallas gives the Cowboys another proven pass rusher for two pivotal matchups with the Eagles
The Dallas Cowboys are set to sign Von Miller, a highly accomplished pass rusher in NFL history, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker, is expected to return to Dallas after growing up in DeSoto and playing college football at Texas A&M, where he was selected second overall in the 2011 NFL draft.
At 37 years old, Miller has shown that his skills are still valuable. During the 2025 season with Washington, he recorded nine sacks, increasing his career total to 138.5 sacks. The move to Dallas completes a Texas homecoming for Miller.
While Miller may not carry the entire defensive line, the Cowboys will utilize him as a situational rusher alongside Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Quinnen Williams, and Kenny Clark. This group of players will create pressure on passing downs, giving Dallas multiple ways to attack various protections.
The arrival of Miller presents another challenge for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have one of the strongest tackle pairings in the league with Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson. Miller's presence will force the Eagles' quarterbacks, Sean Mannion and Jalen Hurts, to account for another matchup when Dallas strategically moves their rushers around.
The Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will face each other in Weeks 7 and 12, with the second matchup scheduled for Thanksgiving. While Miller alone will not determine the NFC East race, proven pass rushers can impact close divisional games by producing crucial third-down sacks or late takeaways. Dallas has added another player capable of creating such moments in their rebuilt pass rush.
