The Dallas Cowboys signed former All-Pro pass rusher Von Miller to a one-year, $5.5 million contract. At age 37, Miller brings a Hall of Fame resume, including three All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl title. Although expected to contribute to the Cowboys' pass rush by committee, his production has declined, and he ranked in line with current Dallas edge rushers in terms of pressures. Team sources suggest that Miller may not lead in sacks but provides veteran depth and stability to a rotation filled with uncertainties.
- •Miller recorded nine sacks in 2025, the most in five years.
- •He averaged a sack every 32 passing plays last season.
- •Miller's pressure rate was 12.5 percent in 2025.
- •His role will likely be adjusted to fit the Cowboys' rotation needs.
- •The Cowboys seek to improve their pass rush following a lackluster previous season.
