OXNARD, Calif. – The Cowboys have agreed to terms with veteran outside linebacker Von Miller, bringing one of the NFL's most decorated pass rushers to Dallas.

Miller, 37, is a native of Desoto, Texas, located just 30 minutes away from AT&T Stadium. Now, going into his 15th NFL season, he'll get to suit up for his hometown team.

Earlier in the offseason, Miller posted an image of himself photoshopped in a Cowboys uniform on Instagram among other social media posts that indicated his interest in heading to Dallas. That has now been fulfilled.

cowboy fans, will be happy about this

I don’t hate the move. He will be a nice rotational player and he can mentor the youngins

Von Miller will turbo charge this defense every time he is in rotation. He will bolster our defense by stopping the momentum of opposing offenses in critical times of games.

What's next, are they going to dig up Vince Lombardi's corpse and have him mentor Schotty?

Not to pick on the guy because he's still much younger than me, but most pass rushers are done by age 32. Miller is 37.

And LeBron is 79 but is still playing, man let's be happy just for something ya know! We know he's old, but this old dog can teach these young guys some tricks! It's a win situation!

IT WAS CLEAR that the Cowboys and von possibly had a deal in talks with each other over the week(s), we just didn't know it!

Very well said and I 100% agree. I think if push came to shove, he can handle ever snap however I don't want him to do that. I (personally) think rotating him in here and there and be a mentor for his fellow players would be perfect. I think his presence alone in the locker room is going to speak volumes.... I'm actually excited about this move.

Let’s not talk about LeBron.
I’m a Rockets fan and I’m still devastated what he did to us in the first round this year. I just knew we had that series and had the nerve to buy tickets for a playoff game. I’m still sick.

Good morning to you, Mr. Negative (lol)

He had 9 sacks last season, the most of his career since 2021, when he was 32 (lol)

Be happy we finally have a player who replaces some sacks and pressure we lost when Parsons was traded.

WE NEED LAWRENCE TAYLOR!!!!!!

 

[John813]

Cool.

Should still be decent on 3rd down. Maybe he can be the Ware like mentor to EZE and Law, similar how Ware helped him out over a decade ago.

If he sucks, no big deal, not like they gave him stupid money and term

[Risen Star]

Because it wasn't "official" when the team tweeted it out last night.

How much, did we get the hometown discount?
