Commanders Sign Von Miller to One-Year, Incentive-Rich Deal

The veteran pass rusher is set to undergo a physical after agreeing to a $6.1 million base deal with up to $10.5 million in incentives to reinforce Washington’s edge rush.

Overview

  • Miller’s one-year contract includes a $6.1 million base salary and the potential for an additional $4.4 million in performance bonuses.
  • Washington plans to deploy him in situational pass-rush roles to manage his workload while leveraging his veteran experience.
  • At 36, Miller holds 129.5 career sacks—the most among active players—and has won two Super Bowls, including Super Bowl 50 MVP honors.
  • Durability concerns persist after Miller missed all of the 2020 season and has not completed a full 17-game schedule since 2018.
  • His addition complements offseason moves such as acquiring Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel as Washington builds on its NFC Championship run.
