OXNARD, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Von Miller is set to sign with his hometown Dallas Cowboys and doesn’t 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’s 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 have two full practices remaining in its annual three-week California excursion. The Cowboys break camp before their second preseason game at Arizona on Saturday. 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 Miller 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
