Veteran LB Von Miller Nears One-Year Deal With Washington Commanders

Veteran pass rusher and two-time Super Bowl champion Von Miller has announced he will sign a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders for the 2025 NFL season, as confirmed by Miller on Instagram and multiple media outlets. The 36-year-old, who last played for the Buffalo Bills and missed part of the 2024 season due to league suspension and injuries, brings a wealth of experience and 129.5 career sacks to a Commanders defense that has recently lost key pass rushers and is seeking to bolster its lineup. Miller joins fellow veteran Bobby Wagner, as the Commanders continue to rely on experienced talent in pursuit of another playoff run after reaching the NFC Championship Game last season. The move is seen as low risk for Washington, with Miller expected to contribute in key moments rather than every down, while also mentoring younger linemen. Although Miller's production has declined with age and injuries, his leadership and ability to make crucial plays are expected to provide a significant boost to the Commanders' defense. The signing highlights Washington's aggressive offseason strategy, as they aim to contend for the NFC East title and possibly another Super Bowl appearance.
