Von Miller joins Cowboys as edge rusher amid defensive changes

The Dallas Cowboys signed Von Miller, adding the 37-year-old, two-time Super Bowl champion to their roster on August 17, 2026. Miller joins a team that bolstered its edge rushing options this offseason, including new draft picks and trades. With the Cowboys’ recent struggles on defense, Miller's experience could prove valuable, although reports suggest he may not be a full-time starter. His role is likely to focus on critical passing situations, specifically on third downs. The Cowboys' defensive depth chart now includes a mix of new and established players, with Miller positioned to contribute significantly.
