The Washington Commanders have been expected to add a veteran pass rusher for months, and they’re reportedly adding one before the start of training camp. Von Miller has been a big impact player for several teams during his 13 NFL seasons. He’s won two Super Bowls and was the MVP of Peyton Manning’s last game.

Miller has been with the Buffalo Bills for the last three seasons, but hasn’t started a game since his first year with the team. Washington didnt draft an edge defender in this year’s draft, but they told reporters they were in contact with several veterans. Washington added some players for the defensive line(Deatrich Wise, Eddie Goldman, Jacob Martin) but they also lost Dante Fowler Jr in free agency who had 10.5 sacks last season. Miller had 6 sacks with Buffalo last season, and now joins the Commanders defense on a 1-year deal.

Miller was among a handful of vets still available. Washington had looked at Demarcus Lawrence in free agency and had interest in Joey Bosa. They’ll now add another piece to the pass rush. https://t.co/Xyu4ybsMAC

Commanders GM Adam Peters was a scout in Denver when the Broncos drafted Miller with the second overall pick in 2011. https://t.co/WpLyFLfSmh
