Texas native Von Miller fulfills his childhood dream of playing for the Dallas Cowboys.Just months ago, he sported a Cowboys jersey, and analysts paired him with Jerry Jones’ team during 2026 NFL free agency. Come the 2026 preseason, Miller signed a one-year contract worth $5.5 million with Dallas, which could be worth up to $7.5 million.Miller even posted an AI-generated photo of himself as a child sleeping peacefully on a bed with Cowboys gear [read: dreaming to play for the team one day].To add some spice to this feel-good story, his ex-girlfriend Megan Denise, with whom he reportedly shares two sons, was recently spotted holding hands with his new Dallas teammate, CeeDee Lamb. The season hasn’t even started, but the locker-room drama is sure as heaven here.
Von Miller dreams of playing for Cowboys while new teammate CeeDee Lamb is spotted with his ex Megan Denise
Von Miller shared the childhood-themed Cowboys image on X, which appears to portray him as a young fan dreaming of one day playing for the franchise. The 37-year-old edge defender has also expressed immense confidence in what he can bring to the Cowboys.“I can still play football,” Von Miller told reporters on Aug. 18. “I can still contribute in other ways. On my Super Bowl teams, it’s not just one person that gets it done. I think you can say what you want to say about my play on the field and what I got left.”Miller said he believes he can contribute even if he isn’t on the field for a large number of snaps, particularly by motivating his teammates.The popular edge defender continued, “When it comes to being a great teammate, I’m probably the best teammate that ever played in the National Football League, and I will say that with all confidence in the world.”“My ability to get people around me to play at a level that they wouldn’t normally play at, I don’t think nobody does that like me,” he added.While Miller spoke highly of his sportsmanship and team spirit, his newest teammate, CeeDee Lamb, could create an awkward dynamic if reports of an alleged connection with Megan Denise prove accurate.Denise and Lamb were reportedly spotted together at a Dallas nightclub and later holding hands in a car, according to an X account that shared a video clip of the pair. The post also identified Denise as Miller’s ex-girlfriend and the mother of his children.That has naturally raised questions about whether the reported connection could affect the Cowboys’ locker-room dynamics, particularly with Miller and Lamb now sharing the same team, same jersey, and same goal.
CeeDee Lamb’s demeanor with Crymson Rose vs Megan Denise
The reported interaction between Lamb and Denise has also drawn strange comparisons with his past relationship with Crymson Rose.An old video from the 2020 NFL Draft showed Rose attempting to check one of Lamb’s phones while he appeared reluctant to let her access it.In contrast, the more recent clip involving Denise shows Lamb appearing relaxed and holding her hand, while she records him enjoying music, even as he operates another phone.That difference could prompt social-media users to compare Lamb’s demeanor in the two situations.Of course, the videos alone do not establish the nature of Lamb and Denise’s dating rumor. But with Miller now joining Lamb as a teammate in Dallas, the reported connection has certainly added an intriguing off-field subplot to the Cowboys’ 2026 season.As legendary Cowboys players have reportedly reflected in the Netflix series America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, off-field chemistry can be just as crucial as on-field chemistry when it comes to building a championship team.So, if the reported CeeDee Lamb and Megan Denise dating rumors continue to gain traction, could they affect the locker-room dynamics or off-field chemistry between Lamb and Von Miller?That remains to be seen…
