Washington Commanders fans will be delighted by an exciting development following an exceptional 2024 campaign: following two-time champion Von Miller’s impressive season in 2024, they have secured his services on a one-year contract for 2025 season! Their previous year record saw 12-5 finish and deep playoff run that ultimately placed them into NFC championship game; yet even so, team identified need for stronger pass rush and addressed that concern by signing veteran Von Miller as pass rusher.
Von Miller: A Seasoned Addition to the Commanders in 2025
Von Miller has long been considered one of the greatest defensive talents ever seen on any field and, at 36 years old, still brings immense potential to any defensive lineup he joins – be it Denver Broncos or Los Angeles Rams – winning Super Bowl championships on both. Since being released by Buffalo Bills with significant cap space freed up from him leaving Miller looking for new challenges; that search now appears over as he will now join Commanders as their fourth team over 13 seasons with 129.5 career sacks to his name placing him 16th all-time and further cementing his dominance on field.
A Strategic Move for the Commanders
The Washington Commanders’ decision to add Von Miller as part of their squad is well timed. Even after posting an impressive finish last season, their defense struggled at closing out games defensively; ranking 30th out of 32 NFL clubs for fourth quarter sacks as an indicator. Miller should help Washington significantly bolster their pass rush, further solidifying their defensive strategy and adding stability. Furthermore, their roster already ranks amongst one of the oldest for 2025 season. At nearly 28 years old on average, Miller adds another six years to their median age while emphasizing their strategy to draw upon experience for championship success. As exciting young talent like Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels has changed the course of their franchise, the Commanders appear committed to seizing on their current championship window. Their 2025 campaign begins this September against Giants at home – setting up what promises to be an exhilarating campaign!
