Von Miller signs one-year deal with Cowboys to strengthen defense
Summary

Von Miller has signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys, returning to his home state of Texas. The 37-year-old defender aims to bolster a Cowboys defense that ranked last in the NFL in scoring prevention last season. Miller is joining a group of edge rushers that has seen significant changes, especially following the recent trade of Micah Parsons. While expectations for Miller's impact remain tempered due to his age, his experience and mentorship are seen as critical for the team’s defensive resurgence. The Cowboys are looking to improve on their 2025 season and contend for the NFC East title in 2026.
