OXNARD, Calif. \u2014 Von Miller is set to sign with his hometown Dallas Cowboys and doesn\u2019t even want to wait a week for the team to get back from training camp in California before joining the club.<\/p>\n
The NFL\u2019s active leader in sacks has agreed to a one-year contract for what will be his third team in three seasons and second consecutive NFC East home. Miller is expected to arrive on the West Coast on Monday.<\/p>\n
Dallas has only two full practices remaining in its annual three-week California excursion. The Cowboys break camp before their second preseason game Saturday at Arizona. Camp practices will resume in Texas next week.<\/p>\n
Miller, who has 138 1\/2 sacks over 14 seasons, dropped the quarterback nine times in his only season with Washington a year ago. He joined the Commanders after he was cut by Buffalo in a salary cap move.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old went to high school south of Dallas and starred at Texas A&M before Denver drafted him second overall in 2011. He was the Super Bowl MVP when the Broncos won the 2015 title with a dominant defensive performance against Seattle. Miller won another championship with the 2021 Los Angeles Rams.<\/p>\n
Miller was the Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year with 11 1\/2 sacks in his NFL debut 15 years ago and was an All-Pro three times in his first six seasons. His stint with the Bills was plagued by injuries and a Dallas domestic violence case that led to a four-game suspension.<\/p>\n
Even though Miller has been mostly a backup the past three seasons, the nine sacks with the Commanders were his most since he had 9 1\/2 in his second Super Bowl-winning season. The Rams acquired him from the Broncos in a midseason trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OXNARD, Calif. \u2014 Von Miller is set to sign with his hometown Dallas Cowboys and doesn\u2019t even want…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-408608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
