- Von Miller agreed to a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, announced Sunday night, returning to his home state after stops in Denver, Los Angeles, Buffalo, and Washington
- Miller, 37, brings 138.5 career sacks — the most among active NFL players — and eight Pro Bowl selections to a pass-rush rotation that includes Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, and potentially Sam Williams, James Houston, and Marist Liufau
- Miller recorded nine sacks for the Washington Commanders last season, his highest total since a 9.5-sack split in 2021 between the Broncos and Rams
- The Cowboys had already extended defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to a three-year, $105.9 million deal last week, with owner Jerry Jones hinting at training camp that another significant defensive addition was coming
- Miller was the Super Bowl 50 MVP for the Broncos in the 2015 season, when he was mentored by Cowboys Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware — a relationship the team hopes he can now replicate for its young edge rushers under new coordinator Christian Parker
Why it matters: Miller joins a Cowboys defense that just committed $105.9 million to Quinnen Williams and is banking on a 37-year-old pass rusher to mentor its young edge group under new coordinator Christian Parker; even a diminished Miller gives Dallas one of the most decorated veterans in football for a single-season prove-it deal.
