The Green Bay Packers<\/a> are in an interesting position this offseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team has a solid roster and should be among the contenders in the NFC once again. However, the team doesn’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 draft and is coming off of two-straight first-round playoff exits.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking around the roster, there’s not a ton of holes. The biggest one is clearly on the edge after the team traded away Rashan Gary and lost Kingsley Enagbare in free agency. Additionally, star pass-rusher Micah Parsons is coming off a serious injury and probably will not be ready for Week 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unless the team wants to go into Week 1 with Lukas Van Ness and Barryn Sorrell as the starters on the edge, they need to make a move. Luckily, there are still some solid options on the free agent market, but one is more intriguing than the rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Garrett Podell of CBS Sports<\/a> recently identified the best landing spots for each of the top remaining free agents. For future Hall of Famer Von Miller, Podell identified the Packers<\/a> as a legit option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Regarding Miller and the Packers, Podell offered the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miller makes plenty of sense on the\u00a0Packers, given\u00a0Micah Parsons’ situation. Parsons is recovering from a torn ACL. Miller would be an ideal addition to hold down the fort at the edge rusher spot opposite former first-round pick\u00a0Lukas Van Ness\u00a0until Parsons gets back. Once he does, Miller could be a situational pass rusher for the Packers, a team whose +1500 odds to win the Super Bowl are the seventh-best in the NFL, according to\u00a0DraftKings\u00a0Sportsbook. Even though Green Bay is known as a team that can be free agent-averse, general manager Brian Gutekunst signed veteran defensive tackle\u00a0Javon Hargrave\u00a0to hold down the fort until\u00a0Devonte Wyatt\u00a0can return from his injury. Miller would be a similar signing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Podell mentioned, Miller probably shouldn’t be relied upon to start for an entire season, but he can still be a reliable rotational piece. Miller is more than capable of holding down the fort until Parsons returns at least.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025, Miller played in all 17 games for the Washington Commanders<\/a> and collected 26 tackles, six tackles for loss, and nine sacks. Pro Football Focus<\/a> credited the veteran with 36 pressures, which ranked 53rd out of 115 qualified edge-rushers in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miller has been a reliable edge-rusher for years now. The veteran has earned eight Pro Bowls, won two Super Bowls, and been a First-team All-Pro three times. Miller would likely be open to playing with a contender\u00a0 like the Packers in 2026 as he attempts to win his third ring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miller isn’t the player he once was, but worst-case scenario, he’d still be a solid rotational piece and a good addition to the locker room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
