As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2026 season, they have signed veteran edge rusher Von Miller in hopes of bolstering their defensive lineup. A Cowboys insider raised questions about whether Miller's expected 10-15 snaps per game will significantly impact the team's performance.
At 37 years old, Miller's age has raised concerns, yet he has shown good fitness and has been actively participating in practice. The Cowboys are looking for him to not only contribute on the field but also to serve as a mentor for younger players.
Marist Liufau, a young edge rusher, praised Miller's role in the locker room, noting his mentorship and coaching-like presence during practices and meetings.
With high expectations for the Cowboys this season, the team is optimistic about Miller's ability to pressure quarterbacks effectively. Will McClay, the vice president of player personnel, emphasized the importance of experienced players like Miller in guiding younger teammates.
While further details on how Miller will fit into the defensive scheme under new coordinator Christian Parker are still pending, the Cowboys are hopeful about his dual role in performance and leadership as they aim for a successful season.
