Von Miller is going home. The eight-time Pro Bowl edge rusher is signing with the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, ending his one-season run in Washington and landing him with an NFC East rival instead.
The fit makes sense on paper before you even get to the football. Miller is from Texas, grew up going to DeSoto High School, and played his college ball at Texas A&M. He's spent 14 seasons bouncing around the league without ever suiting up for the team he grew up rooting for, and now, at 37, he finally gets that chance.
It's also a division swap that's going to sting a little in Washington. Schefter noted Miller is coming off a nine-sack season with the Commanders — his best output since 2021 — and instead of running it back, he's walking straight across the NFC East to a rival that just got a lot scarier off the edge.

The resume speaks for itself. Miller brings 2 Super Bowl rings, 7 All-Pro nods, 8 Pro Bowl selections, and 138.5 career sacks — the most of any active player in the league — to a Dallas pass rush that's been retooling for a while now.
According to ESPN's reporting, the deal is a one-year contract, a low-risk, high-upside flier for a Cowboys team that's leaned into experience up front. Miller previously crossed paths with new Dallas coordinator in Denver years back, and the front office is betting that connection plus his pedigree translates to snaps that matter in a stacked division.
For a 37-year-old entering his 15th NFL season, this isn't about chasing a paycheck — it's about chasing a ring in front of the home crowd. Whether Miller can still get after the quarterback at a high level in Dallas is the real question, but for one night at least, the story is simply that he's finally a Cowboy.
