The Dallas Cowboys’ pass rush struggles without Micah Parsons, as their front seven fails to generate sufficient pressure to disrupt opposing quarterbacks. Consequently, it might be wise for owner and general manager Jerry Jones to consider bringing in edge rusher Von Miller, a player with former Pro Bowl credentials, to evaluate his current capabilities.
Although Miller is not the dominant force he once was at 35 years of age, he remains effective at pressuring the quarterback. In 2024, he managed to secure six sacks over 13 games in a reserve role, participating in just 40% of defensive snaps. Partnering him with Parsons could forge a formidable duo capable of troubling quarterbacks and causing disruption.
After signing a six-year, $120 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, Miller was released last month to free up approximately $8.4 million in cap space necessary for finalizing quarterback Josh Allen’s contract.
While Miller may not command such a hefty salary anymore, being a Dallas-Fort Worth native and Texas A&M alum could entice him to join the Cowboys on a team-friendly deal, allowing him to wear the Star and enjoy one last hurrah alongside Parsons.
Leading the NFL in active career sacks with 129.5, Miller is a seasoned veteran who doesn’t require instruction on the game. His accolades include eight Pro Bowl selections, three All-Pro recognitions, and two Super Bowl victories, one of which earned him a rare Super Bowl MVP honor for a defensive player. Seeing Miller and Parsons team up on the field would be intriguing, as their combined efforts could wreak havoc in opponents’ backfields.
