Former Bills Edge Rusher Von Miller Signs With Washington Commanders

Veteran NFL linebacker Von Miller, a two-time Super Bowl champion and eight-time Pro Bowler, has signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders after being released by the Buffalo Bills in a cap-cutting move. Miller, who struggled with injuries and a suspension in recent seasons, announced the signing on Instagram, and the Commanders hope he can recapture the form that helped the Los Angeles Rams win the Super Bowl in 2021. The Bills replaced Miller with edge rusher Joey Bosa, who faces pressure to perform despite his own injury history and recent calf injury. Miller's time with the Bills was marked by a torn ACL in 2022 and inconsistent production afterward, though he posted six sacks in 2024. Washington, coming off an NFC Championship appearance, sought a veteran edge rusher after losing Dante Fowler to the Dallas Cowboys. Miller’s signing adds experience to a Commanders defense aiming to contend for a Super Bowl title.
