Roster churning for the Dallas Cowboys is an everyday proposition so linking big names with this team is surely nothing new. I have been keeping a close eye on Denver Broncos pass rusher Von Miller and the deteriorating situation going on in the Mile High City that could positively affect the Dallas Cowboys’ plans.
Before I get to what’s going on in Denver, I would like to point out a few facts about the love affair Von Miller has with the Dallas Cowboys.
Prior to the 2011 NFL Draft, Texas A&M pass rusher and top prospect Von Miller was asked where his preferred landing spot would be and his reply wasn’t shocking as he named the Dallas Cowboys as the place where he wanted to go.
You see, Von Miller is a DeSoto, Texas native and that is where he and his family grew up rooting for the Dallas Cowboys. That by itself isn’t a destination link as Denver Broncos great John Elway also grew up watching America’s team as a kid.
His comments after that are also intriguing as he wanted to be drafted by Washington if the Dallas Cowboys bypassed him with the ninth overall selection so he can beat the team he grew up watching. All of that was for not as the Broncos selected Miller with the second overall pick.
The Super Bowl 50 MVP didn’t play this past season and finished the year on injured reserve but more importantly, Miller hasn’t played in the playoffs since their Super Bowl victory. With question marks surrounding the quarterback position and first-time head coach Vic Fangio, the question of what to do with Miller has arisen.
Back in January of 2019, Von Miller’s mother who was also frustrated by Denver’s inability to put together a playoff team sounded off and suggested that Miller’s agent should contact Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
