Von Miller Signs One-Year Deal With Washington Commanders

Von Miller, the NFL's active sacks leader with 129.5 career sacks, has signed a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders ahead of the 2025 season. The 36-year-old veteran edge rusher, known for his two Super Bowl titles and eight Pro Bowl selections, joins a Commanders team eager to bolster its pass rush after losing star edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr. Miller’s recent seasons with the Buffalo Bills were hampered by injuries, including a torn ACL, but he still managed six sacks last year, showing he can contribute. Washington’s front office views Miller as a high-reward signing who brings veteran leadership and playoff experience to a defensive line undergoing significant retooling. While Miller is past his prime, the Commanders hope he can still provide impactful pass rushing and mentorship to younger players as they pursue a Super Bowl run. His signing is part of a broader strategy including other defensive additions to strengthen the team’s defense following a strong 12-win season and NFC championship appearance.
