As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2026 NFL season, there is optimism surrounding the team, but a Cowboys insider has posed a significant question regarding the role of veteran edge rusher Von Miller. The insider wonders if Miller, who is expected to play 10-15 snaps per game, can make a substantial impact on the defense given his age of 37.
Miller was recently signed by the Cowboys, who are looking for him to enhance their pass rush. His presence is not only anticipated for his on-field contributions but also for his potential to mentor younger players. Edge rusher Marist Liufau noted the value of having Miller in the locker room, describing him as a mentor who shares insights and guidance with the team.
Liufau emphasized that Miller has been actively involved in helping players both on and off the field.
The Cowboys are entering the season with high expectations, bolstered by a strong roster and a promising defense, alongside one of the league's top offenses. Will McClay, the vice president of player personnel, expressed confidence in Miller's ability to still pressure quarterbacks and highlighted the importance of his leadership for the younger players on the team.
McClay believes that Miller's experience will be invaluable as the team prepares under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker.
