Washington, D.C. – July 17, 2025 – NFL superstar Von Miller, an eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion, has signed a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders, the team confirmed on social media with Miller posting, “DC, let’s roll!” alongside a photo in his new No. 24 jersey. As reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, this blockbuster move just days before training camp adds a future Hall of Famer to Washington’s defense, fueling their Super Bowl aspirations for 2025. Here’s the full scoop for ClickUSANews readers.

Von Miller: A Game-Changer for Washington

At 36, Miller remains the NFL’s active leader in career sacks with 129.5, including six in 2024 with the Buffalo Bills. His resume boasts Super Bowl 50 MVP honors with the Denver Broncos and a second ring with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. The Commanders, who fell one game short of the Super Bowl last season, see Miller as the missing piece to bolster their pass rush, which ranked 11th in the NFL with 43 sacks in 2024.

The signing reunites Miller with General Manager Adam Peters, who was part of the Broncos’ front office when Miller was drafted No. 2 overall in 2011. With quarterback Jayden Daniels, the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, leading a high-powered offense, and head coach Dan Quinn at the helm, Washington is all-in for a championship run, and Miller’s playoff experience could be the key.

Miller’s Recent Performance: Still Elite

Despite setbacks with the Bills—including a 2022 ACL injury and a four-game suspension in 2024 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy—Miller proved he’s still a force, notching six sacks in 13 games last season. Released by Buffalo in March 2025 to save cap space, Miller drew interest from multiple teams before choosing Washington. NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger praised Miller’s condition, saying, “He’s in top shape and ready to make an impact.” With training camp kicking off July 18 for rookies and July 22 for veterans, Miller’s arrival is perfectly timed.

Commanders’ Offseason: Building a Contender

Washington’s front office, led by Peters, has been aggressive this offseason, adding All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel and five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil via trades. Miller’s signing addresses a critical need after losing edge rusher Dante Fowler Jr., who led the team with 8.5 sacks in 2024. With Miller’s veteran presence and knack for big plays, the Commanders are poised to challenge the NFL’s elite in 2025.
