Von Miller is one of the greatest players of his generation, and the future Hall of Famer is still looking for his next team. Selected with the second-overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Texas A&M product immediately established himself as one of the game’s elite pass rushers, making eight Pro Bowls during his first nine years in the league, earning First-Team All-Pro honors three times, winning two Super Bowls, and even earning Super Bowl 50 MVP honors. While age has done a number on him and he’s no longer an elite player, Von Miller proved he can still be productive in a situational role. While the 2025 Washington Commanders had a disappointing season overall, Miller played well in a supporting role. Appearing in 17 games while making three starts, the veteran finished the season with nine sacks, 26 tackles, six tackles-for-loss, and 15 quarterback hits. At this stage in his career, Von Miller is nothing more than a situational pass rusher. However, competing teams still need as many pass rushers as they can get, and Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton thinks he knows a team that could use Miller’s services. In a recent article, the NFL analyst made his case for a signing with the Philadelphia Eagles. “Perhaps Von Miller would be interested in a reunion with his former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who coached him for two and a half seasons in Denver,” Moton writes. “The Eagles placed Jonathan Greenard on the Physically Unable to Perform list after he suffered a pectoral injury while weightlifting before training camp…Miller can solidify the Eagles’ pass-rushing group. In 2025, he led the Washington Commanders with nine sacks and tallied 19 pressures while on the field for 37 percent of the defensive snaps.” Von Miller, Philadelphia Eagles, Connected In Latest Rumor Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles always have one of the strongest rosters in the league, and this continued success has a lot to do with building a team with a deep group of pass-rushers. On paper, the Eagles have three reliable pass-rushers in Greenard, former first-round pick Nolan Smith, and 2024 third-round pick Jalyx Hunt. Without Greenard, however, this room looks a lot shallower. Smith has turned into a decent player, but he hasn’t justified his first-round draft capital. At this stage of his career, he’s a solid rotational player and not a full-time starter. Hunt, meanwhile, had a solid season last year with 6.5 sacks, but only time will tell if the youngster can repeat that success. Smith and Hunt offer the upside of youth, but it wouldn’t hurt to add a proven free agent like Von Miller into the mix. If nothing else, the veteran can help keep everyone fresh as a situational pass rusher while adding some much-needed experience to the room.
