Cowboys sign Von Miller to one-year deal as pass rusher
Summary

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.

Von Miller is a good addition for a great price but he's not someone who should be expected to lead a high-end unit on the Cowboys anymore
