He's one of the best pass rushers we've seen in the 21st century, and yet, Von Miller remains unsigned. After dropping another obvious hint that he wants a hometown reunion (likely in his last few seasons) with the Dallas Cowboys, it's time for owner Jerry Jones to get on the phone and make it happen.
Miller has already been active in announcing where he would like to play next year, and made it easy in a previous Instagram story when he wore a Dallas Cowboys uniform.
He did that again in another post, putting Dak Prescott in a hat labeled "2027 Super Bowl Champions," and the Cowboys QB holding the Vince Lombardi trophy. The interest is clear and right in front of Jones' eyes, but it's not likely he will do anything about it.
Von Miller is clearly interested in the Cowboys, but is not likely to get signed
It would be one of the easiest signings for Jones, as Miller is a DFW native, the perfect chance to play in his hometown in the last part of his career. The best part is: it wouldn't cost Jones much at all.
Spotrac has Miller listed at $5.8 million per year. The Cowboys can easily sign him to a team-friendly deal with few expectations. But the Cowboys also have their team working well in training camp now, so why would they mess with that early chemistry? If Jones hasn't put pen to paper now, what makes us think he will all of a sudden pull the trigger for Miller?
The Cowboys are depending on Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku and Malachi Lawrence to rush the passer. It wouldn't hurt to get one of the best pass rushers we've ever seen. Miller would immediately have the biggest voice on defense, and his contributions still mean a lot.
Last year with the Washington Commanders, he played 17 games and racked up nine sacks, six tackles for loss and 26 total tackles. In all-time sacks, he's No. 9 with 138.5. Having that kind of Super Bowl MVP experience could be the cherry on top.
Unfortunately, following the latest reports of Miller's first cryptic post, it appears the Cowboys don't have the same interest. How many chances are the Cowboys going to get like this? How many chances will Miller get to sign a team-friendly deal in his hometown?
The Cowboys seem happy with what they have, but the old saying, "the more the merrier," applies perfectly here.
Surely, the players and the Joneses aren't ignoring this, but Miller clearly has a choice about where he wants to play. Jerry can make it happen. It's only a matter of whether he wants to.
