Von Miller finalizing one-year contract with Commanders after Bills release

Mr. Miller is going to Washington. 

Eight-time Pro Bowler Von Miller is planning on signing with the Commanders, he announced on his Instagram page late Wednesday night. 

In a post, captioned, “DC… What’s good??” Miller revealed the next stop in his career after the Bills released him earlier this offseason.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the deal will be for one year and that the two sides were still “finalizing terms.” 

The Commanders will be the fourth team that Miller will play for during his career. 

The 36-year-old spent the first nine seasons in the NFL with the Broncos, winning the 2016 Super Bowl and the game’s MVP.

Miller won his second Super Bowl title with the Rams in 2022 after he was traded to Los Angeles during the middle of the 2021 season. 

Miller finished last season with six sacks after not recording any in 2023.

He has 129.5 sacks over the course of his career.

Miller will bring veteran depth to the Commanders roster after they lost Dante Fowler Jr. in free agency after he signed with the Cowboys. 

It was reported this week that three teams were “very interested” in Miller, according to NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger. 

“I think Von feels like there’s a pretty good chance he’s going to sign some point either before camp or — I mean, I don’t think Von’s too crazy about going to training camp,” Baldinger told the DNVR Broncos podcast this week. “Most guys that age aren’t. They know what they need to do. He looks in great shape. So, I would say he’s going to get signed here [relatively soon].”

Commanders training camp begins next week with veterans reporting on July 22 at the OrthoVirginia Training Center at Commanders Park in Ashburn, Va.
