2026 Outlook
Dallas Cowboys signing (Aug 17, 2026): Von Miller agreed to a 1-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, marking a surprising reunion with his hometown team. Miller attended DeSoto (Texas) High School before Texas A&M and has ties to the Dallas area. He'll slot into Dallas's pass-rush rotation alongside Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, first-round pick Malachi Lawrence, and potentially Sam Williams and James Houston. Miller recorded 9 sacks last season for Washington—his highest total since 2021 when he split time with Denver and LA. At 37, he'll serve as a pass-rush depth piece and veteran mentor rather than an every-down player, though new coordinator Christian Parker (who worked with Miller briefly in Denver) may give him more opportunity than expected (per Von Miller signing with Cowboys on 1-year deal, source says).
Miller's 2025 was significant: his nine sacks led Washington and marked his highest total since 2021. He played every game for the first time since 2018, ending a stretch where injuries limited him to 38 games between 2020-2023. An injury-free 2025 season suggests he's stabilized heading into 2026.
Miller was the Super Bowl 50 MVP, has 138.5 career sacks (9th all-time), and is an assured future Hall of Famer. His fantasy value in 2026 remains minimal in standard redraft formats but could have some relevance in IDP and DFS contests. Primary value is team-building and veteran leadership rather than fantasy production.
Role / Depth Chart
Rotational pass rusher in Dallas' defensive scheme. Part of a committee edge rush group that includes Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Malachi Lawrence, and Sam Williams.
Injury Status
