<\/a><\/p>\nBucs GM Jason Licht.<\/p>\n
So future Hall of Fame edge rusher Von Miller was on Super Bowl\u2019s Radio Row last week.<\/p>\n
The soon-to-be-37-year-old was clear on a couple of things.<\/p>\n
First, he wants to continue playing. Miller had 9 sacks for the Commanders last season and didn\u2019t miss a game. Of course he wants to play.<\/p>\n
Second, Miller said he has no interest in being a full-time player. He\u2019s a pass rush specialist at this point in his career and, Miller said, more of a 20 snaps a game guy.<\/p>\n
Miller, a pending free agent, also said he\u2019d like to stay with Washington. However, Washington has a new defensive coordinator from outside the organization and it\u2019s unclear how that situation will play out.<\/p>\n
Miller had a $6 million salary last season and incentives to take him up to around $10 million, per reports.<\/p>\n
So Joe\u2019s has heard along the sidewalks of Dale Mabry Highway that the Bucs need an edge rusher or two.\u00a0Miller sure seems enticing, and it\u2019s not just because he\u2019s productive.<\/p>\n
Miller has a passion for working with young players. He also talked about that on SiriusXM NFL Radio last week, and the Bucs have 2025 rookie David Walker coming back from injury and fourth-year man YaYa Diaby.<\/p>\n
Fans know Miller hosts the annual Sack Summit he founded to develop professional pass rushers. Miller also was a key figure of the development of Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett during their days together in Denver.<\/p>\n
Yeah, it\u2019s crazy to bank on Miller rescuing the Bucs\u2019 pass rush. But it\u2019s not crazy to think he would be a massive upgrade from most of the edge rushers the Bucs put on the field last year.<\/p>\n
