The Washington Commanders may be on the verge of losing edge rusher Von Miller to the Dallas Cowboys.
Von Miller posted a photoshopped picture on Instagram stories of himself in a Cowboys jersey.
The 37-year-old edge rusher, a 7-time NFL All-Pro and Super Bowl MVP, seemed to tease that he was signing a free-agent contract with the Cowboys.
He used “They Don’t Know” by Paul Wall as the music over the photo, adding to the mystery.
Miller played for the Commanders in 2025 on a 1-year, $6 million contract and led the team with 9.0 sacks.
He accumulated a staggering $198.8 million in career earnings through the end of the 2025 season.
The Commanders have made wholesale changes at edge rusher after missing an elite pass rush in 2025.
Leading the way for those changes was free-agent edge rusher Odafe Oweh, a former 1st round pick who left the Los Angeles Chargers for a 4-year, $100 million contract with the Commanders.
They also signed veteran edge rusher and former 1st round pick K’Lavon Chaisson to a 1-year, $11 million free-agent contract.
Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton singled out signing Chaisson as one of the NFL’s best offseason moves.
The Washington Commanders are currently standing 14th in the National Football Conference with a 5-12 record, on a W1 streak, and are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13.
And with the potential loss of Von Miller, the team's defense may be impacted.
But the Commanders have been preparing for this scenario, having made significant changes to their edge rusher position.
So the team is looking forward to the upcoming game against the Eagles.
The Commanders' fans are eagerly waiting to see how the team will perform without Von Miller.
The team's current standing and record are a result of their performance in the previous season.
The Washington Commanders are looking to improve their record and standing in the current season.
