Washington Commanders linebacker Von Miller, known for his impressive 138 ½ sacks over 14 seasons, is set to join his hometown Dallas Cowboys in a one-year deal. The 37-year-old, who previously played for Denver and Los Angeles Rams, expressed eagerness to return to Texas as soon as possible, bypassing a week-long wait for the team to return from training camp in California.
Miller, who joined the Commanders after being cut by Buffalo in a salary cap move, had a strong season with 9 ½ sacks in his first year with the team. However, his stint with the Bills was marked by injuries and a domestic violence-related four-game suspension. Despite spending the past three seasons as a backup, Miller delivered nine sacks with the Commanders, his best performance since his second Super Bowl-winning season with the Broncos.
Having played at Texas A&M before being drafted second overall by Denver in 2011, Miller made history as the Super Bowl MVP in 2015 with a dominant defensive performance against Seattle. He also won another championship with the 2021 Los Angeles Rams. With the Dallas Cowboys, Miller is poised to become a consistent force, having played a significant role for the Rams in their recent playoff victories.
