Dallas, Texas – As the Cowboys prepare for the 2026 season, the team has invited veteran edge rusher Von Miller to participate in early pre-OTA workouts.

This move signals that Dallas is prioritizing the addition of championship experience, leadership, and proven pass-rush depth to their defensive front.

Von Miller, 37, has long been regarded as one of the most accomplished pass rushers of his generation. With over 138 career sacks, two Super Bowl titles (including Super Bowl MVP honors), and a reputation for high football IQ and professionalism, he remains a valuable asset even in the later stages of his career.

The Cowboys believe his skill set and winning mentality align perfectly with what the team needs heading into the new season.

While the Cowboys have promising young talent on the edge, questions remain about veteran presence and the ability to maintain consistent pressure throughout the year. Von Miller can step in immediately as a situational pass-rush specialist, provide stability, and help mentor younger players in the room.

Analysts expect Miller’s experience, technique, and ability to win with speed and power will allow him to make an impact in critical moments without needing a full-time role. His presence is also expected to accelerate the development of the younger defensive players around him.

The pre-OTA workouts will give the Cowboys coaching staff a chance to evaluate Miller’s current physical condition and how well he fits into their defensive scheme.

In the context of Dallas aiming to compete at the highest level and push for a Super Bowl run in 2026, adding a proven winner like Von Miller could provide both on-field production and invaluable leadership in the locker room.

There is currently no official contract in place, but these early workouts offer both sides an opportunity to assess the fit. If signed, Miller would compete for rotational snaps, bolster the pass rush, and bring championship pedigree to a defense looking to take the next step.

Beyond rushing the passer, Miller’s football intelligence and experience in high-pressure situations would add valuable flexibility to the Cowboys’ defensive packages.

In short, bringing in Von Miller reflects the Cowboys’ desire to blend youth with proven veteran leadership as they build toward a championship-caliber roster in 2026.

Cowboys fans will be watching closely during these workouts to see how the future Hall of Famer performs and whether he can make an immediate impact on Dallas’ defense.
