Overview

  • Veteran edge rusher Von Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowler, confirmed the signing with social media posts showing him in a Commanders uniform.
  • Miller’s one-year pact follows his March release by the Bills in a cap-saving move that freed $8.4 million after three seasons hampered by injuries.
  • With 129.5 career sacks—the most among active players—Miller brings two Super Bowl titles and a Super Bowl 50 MVP to Washington.
  • The Commanders lost leading sacker Dante Fowler Jr. in free agency and are supplementing a young defense built around quarterback Jayden Daniels.
  • Coaches plan to use Miller as a situational pass rusher, pairing him with Dorance Armstrong and Deatrich Wise to pressure opponents.
