Jul 17, 2025 3:07 AM EDT

Von Miller has had a storied career. He’s played 13 seasons in the NFL and is regarded as one of the best linebackers of his generation. After spending a decade with the Denver Broncos, Miller moved onto the Los Angeles Rams for one season. And most recently, he played three seasons with the Buffalo Bills.

The now 36 year old has won two Super Bowls (2015 and 2021) and is the active sacks leader (129.5), ranking No. 16 in sacks in NFL history. He was also named Super Bowl MVP in 2015.

And now, Miller will reportedly play for his fourth team of his career, the Washington Commanders.

After being released by the Bills in early March, it was reported on Wednesday that Miller will be signing a one-year deal with the Commanders.

Immediately following the news, Miller took to social media, sending his first message to Commanders fans.

“DC …What’s good?” Miller posted to his official X account.

Miller also posted two images of himself in a Commanders jersey on his official Instagram account.

Miller will join a Commanders team that is on the rise and currently possesses a mix of young talent and talented veterans. Commanders quarterback, Jayden Daniels, is getting set to enter his second season in the NFL with high expectations.

As for the defense, Miller will join fellow veteran LB, Bobby Wagner. The Commanders also have veteran cornerback, Marshon Lattimore on their roster. Both Wagner and Lattimore will enter their second season with the Commanders.

The Commanders finished last season with a 12-5 record, their first season above .500 since 2015. They made it to the NFC Championship before getting eliminated by the eventual Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagles.

Miller’s contract won’t become official until he passes a physical with the team, and time will tell if he’ll be ready and available for the Commanders first preseason game in just three weeks on August 8.
