Dallas aims to improve a defense that ranked low in sacks last season as part of a broader effort to complement a strong offense.

This aligns with the Cowboys’ broader plan to rebuild the edge-rushing unit after recent personnel changes and the Parsons trade.

The Dallas Cowboys signed former Super Bowl MVP Von Miller to bolster the edge rushing group, adding a veteran with nine sacks last season for the Commanders.

At 37, Miller is the NFL’s active sack leader with 138.5 sacks across 14 seasons and joins Dallas after arriving from California training camp.

This is a developing report and details of the signing will be updated as more information becomes available.

The move fits into a broader context of reshaping the defense, as teams like Memphis see players rising into top-50 standings with playoff implications.

The acquisition is framed as low-risk, high-reward, bringing leadership and on-field impact while acknowledging last season’s struggles.

Miller’s signing comes as some teammates’ playoff positions shift and others seek to improve their standings.

Dallas has already added cornerbacks Caleb Downs, Devin Moore, and Cobie Durant to bolster the secondary, though depth remains a concern for the season.

The team has also restructured defense by adding linebackers and shifting roles to optimize edge rushing without crowding the position.

Miller’s presence could influence team culture and on-field performance, with potential impact on depth chart decisions during preseason.

The Cowboys envision a rotation that includes Miller alongside Rashan Gary and Donovan Ezeiruaku, supported by interior pressure from Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark.
