Overview

  • Miller’s one-year contract includes $6.1 million guaranteed and offers up to $10.5 million in incentives tied to performance.
  • During his July 24 press conference, he joked that at 36 he could “roll out of bed with [his] house shoes on and rush the passer,” emphasizing his enduring quickness.
  • Washington plans to deploy him in situational roles to shore up a defense that ranked 30th in fourth-quarter pressure last season.
  • Coach Dan Quinn praised Miller’s film study and first-step burst as critical to creating consistent pass-rush rotations.
  • Teammate Frankie Luvu said Miller’s arrival brings “nothing but juice in winning time moments” as the Commanders aim for a Super Bowl berth.
