"The Washington Commanders got almost no consistency from their edge-rushing options during the 2025 campaign. Von Miller, emerging as the team's sack leader, was a damning indictment of how things unfolded. That is no slight on Miller. The Commanders signed him relatively late in the preseason, expecting him to be a situational presence. Injuries and subpar production from others thrust him into a bigger role than expected, and the future Pro Football Hall of Famer managed nine sacks and 19 pressures from 37 percent of the team's defensive snaps."
"[Von] Miller, 36, managed to lead Washington with nine sacks in 2025 while playing rotational snaps on an affordable $6 million deal. Can he do it again for Year 16? Of course, he can. He's the NFL's active career sack leader with 138.5, a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and he's playing for a fraction of what he cost a few years ago. He played in his heyday for Gary Kubiak in Denver, so could he finish his career with Klint in Las Vegas?"
Von Miller signed with Washington late in the 2025 preseason and was expected to be a situational pass rusher. Injuries and poor production from other edge options forced Miller into a larger role, where he recorded nine sacks and 19 pressures while playing 37 percent of defensive snaps. Miller is near the end of a distinguished career, wants to continue playing, and desires a return to Washington. General manager Adam Peters faces a decision on whether to offer another short-term deal. Las Vegas could be a potential landing spot given coaching ties and roster needs.
