Von Miller is currently free agent and has been dropping subtle hints about where and who his ideal teams may be. Most recently he posted an image featuring Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott sporting his Cowboys jersey while holding up an award with the caption, “Why not?”.
Miller first connected himself with the Cowboys camp this past week when he attended training camp, previously posting an edited image in which he is wearing their jersey on social media and during an interview. Miller spoke openly of his desire to join them; speaking about his roots in Dallas as well as their special place in his heart.
If Miller ends up signing with Dallas, the transition may be smooth due to his familiarity with the defensive coordinator Christian Parker’s scheme, having worked together during their time with the Denver Broncos. Miller appears determined to make the right decision this time around.
Reflecting on his recent career choices, Miller revealed that last year he only received two contract offers—one from the Washington Commanders, which he chose, and another from the Seattle Seahawks, which he declined. He admitted regretting picking the wrong team, suggesting that had he joined Seattle, he might have become a Super Bowl champion. Although winning the Super Bowl with Dallas might be a challenge, the team could be a contender in the near future.
Fans have been eagerly sharing their reactions online. Some believe Miller could still contribute effectively, especially in passing situations, despite being 37 years old. Others view him as a necessary addition, particularly if the Cowboys are unable to acquire other edge rushers. With the departure of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys have experienced a significant drop-off at the edge position, making Miller a potentially valuable asset.
Fans have strongly encouraged management to quickly bring Miller onboard as soon as possible given Dallas’ defensive struggles from last season. Their message to management: Von Miller wants to play for Dallas and they require his talent.
Due to Dallas’ poor defensive record, Miller could provide just what the team needs for success during this upcoming season.
