Jerry Jones’ NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys, haven’t held a Lombardi Trophy in 30 years.Several analysts have been actively pitching former Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller for the Cowboys.He is a two-time Super Bowl champion and could have almost won one last year had he chosen the Seattle Seahawks instead of the Washington Commanders.The 37-year-old recently expressed regret over not choosing a Super Bowl LX-winning team and choosing a team that did not even qualify for the playoffs. The Commanders had a difficult 5-12 finish.Another team that does not qualify for the playoffs perennially [last 2 seasons] is the Dak Prescott-led Dallas Cowboys. If Von Miller enters Jerry Jones’ team, they could have a shot at the Super Bowl.We know it’s high-reaching, but there are stats to back this claim up.
Texas native Von Miller linked to Jerry Jones’ team Dallas Cowboys
According to PFF, Von Miller generated 36 total pressures as a pass rusher, which included 10 sacks, 22 hurries, and 4 hits last season.Against the run, the Washington Commanders’ edge defender recorded 14 solo tackles. He earned a 64.4 overall PFF defensive grade for the 2025 season, which ranked 66th among 115 qualified edge defenders.He secured a 62.4 PFF pass-rushing grade, which ranked 68th among 115 others, and a 67.2 run-defense grade, which ranked 36th among others.Von Miller has been among PFF’s 101 Best Players in the years: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021.Yes, those were his prime years. But he is still fired up to win his third Super Bowl. So, could it be the Cowboys’ sixth and his third this season? Remains open for speculation.Anyhow, how can he help Dallas? According to Cowboys Wire’s Ben Grimaldi, there are four veterans Dallas could sign this training camp, and one of them is Von Miller. Others being: linebackers Bobby Okereke and Bobby Wagner and offensive tackle Taylor Decker. Anyhow, why Miller?Miller is a DeSoto, Texas native. He is an unrestricted free agent. He recently sparked buzz on social media when he posted a photo of himself clad in Cowboys gear. He wants to go home, to his roots, maybe?
Cowboys’ defense needs more pass rushing help
According to Cowboys Wire’s Ben Grimaldi, Dallas’ defense needs more pass rushing help, and Miller can do that in a designated pass rushing role. He is older and not as effective as he used to be, but he recorded 10 sacks last season, and he can still get after the quarterback.His total career sacks are up to 138.5 and counting at the age of 37! As per Cowboys Wire’s Ben Grimaldi, Dallas and Miller are a “marriage that fits, especially if the pass rush does not look good early in training camp.”Training camp starts this week for the Dallas Cowboys in Oxnard, California. 90 players will compete to represent Jerry Jones’ team in 2026.The Cowboys need to win their sixth Lombardi Trophy after a 30-year drought; who better than a native veteran? All fingers crossed for Von Miller, everyone!
