Overview

  • Miller confirmed the signing with an Instagram post declaring “DC... What’s good??” and is finalizing the details of a one-year contract.
  • The 36-year-old leads active NFL players with 129.5 career sacks and will join his fourth franchise after Buffalo released him in March.
  • Washington turned to Miller’s situational pass-rush prowess to fill the hole left by Dante Fowler Jr.’s free-agency departure.
  • His eight Pro Bowl nods, two Super Bowl victories and Super Bowl 50 MVP honor align with the Commanders’ strategy of veteran acquisitions.
  • He is expected to bolster a defense built to maximize Jayden Daniels’s rookie contract window when training camp begins.
