Von Miller, the NFL’s active leader in career sacks, has signed a one-year deal with the Dallas Cowboys. The announcement was made by Miller himself through an Instagram post, where he expressed his excitement with the phrase, "Hereee Weee Gooo."

A native of DeSoto, Texas, which is approximately 25 minutes south of Dallas, Miller has strong ties to the area, having also played college football at Texas A&M. He enters his 15th season in the NFL after spending the previous year with the Washington Commanders, where he recorded 26 tackles and nine sacks over 17 games.

Miller is a two-time Super Bowl champion, having won titles with the Denver Broncos in 2015 and the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. He was drafted second overall by the Broncos in the 2011 NFL Draft and has also played for the Buffalo Bills.

Throughout his career, he has accumulated 138.5 sacks, making him tied for 13th all-time alongside Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware, who also played for the Cowboys.

In addition to his sack total, Miller has achieved 607 tackles, 271 quarterback hits, and 27 forced fumbles in 203 games. His accolades include eight Pro Bowl selections and three First Team All-Pro honors. The Cowboys are set to begin their 2026 regular season on September 13 against the New York Giants in a Sunday Night Football matchup.
