The Dallas Cowboys have signed eight-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Von Miller to a one-year contract, marking a homecoming for the Texas native. Miller, who grew up in DeSoto and attended Texas A&M University, announced the signing Sunday evening with an enthusiastic message on social media, expressing his enthusiasm about joining his hometown team.
Miller arrives in Dallas following a solid 2025 season with the Washington Commanders, where he appeared in all 17 games and accumulated nine sacks. The veteran defensive player brings championship experience and proven production to a Cowboys pass-rush unit that has undergone significant restructuring in recent offseason moves.
The signing represents part of Dallas’s broader defensive overhaul aimed at addressing weaknesses from the previous season. The Cowboys have also extended defensive tackle Quinnen Williams on a multi-year deal, signaling their commitment to strengthening their defense across multiple positions.
Miller’s addition gives the Cowboys experienced depth at pass rusher, particularly for situational pass-rush packages. At this stage of his career, the veteran defender can provide reliable pressure and leadership while younger roster members develop around him, making him a strategic fit for the team’s needs moving forward.
