Veteran edge rusher Von Miller officially agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, a move that immediately injects serious talent into an NFC opponent. This isn’t just another signing; per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, this deal is worth $5.5 million, with a maximum value that could hit $7.5 million. That’s a hefty chunk of change for a one-year commitment, but Miller’s track record speaks for itself.
Miller’s Track Record Speaks Volumes
We’re talking about a guy who was the No. 2 overall pick back in the 2011 draft. Miller, at 37 years old, has seen a lot of football and delivered plenty of crushing blows. He’s stacked up 138.5 career sacks over 203 games. Remember that Super Bowl LVI win? Miller split that 2021 season between the Broncos and Rams, helping bring home the hardware. He knows how to get to the quarterback and how to win when it counts.
His 2025 Season Should Sound Alarm Bells
Last season, with the Commanders, Miller showed he’s still got gas in the tank. He appeared in all 17 games, making three starts, and notched an impressive 9.0 sacks. That’s huge! It was his highest sack total since that Super Bowl LVI-winning season in 2021. For Seattle fans, this isn’t just some random news. We know what it’s like to face a potent Dallas squad. We just saw them beat our Seahawks 17-7. Adding a pass rusher of Miller’s caliber to that defense makes them even tougher. The next time the Cowboys roll into Lumen Field, or we head to Arlington, Miller will be hunting for Sam Darnold. That 9.0 sacks number from last year tells us exactly what kind of headache he can still bring.
