Von Miller negotiates jersey number swap with Cowboys teammate Hunter Luepke

Von Miller secured the No. 40 jersey for his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys by reaching a private agreement with incumbent wearer Hunter Luepke. The pass rusher initially proposed a lifetime supply of chicken before settling on a deal involving equity in his Greener Pasture Chicken business. Miller stated he is 90 percent certain he will wear the number during the 2026 season. The chosen number reflects his time playing for Texas A&M, bypassing other options like No. 94 or No. 24. Miller previously wore No. 58 during his career in Denver, a number he confirmed he will not use with his new organization.
