Von Miller just gave the Cowboys’ quiet summer a jolt.
On Wednesday, Miller posted a photo to his Instagram story showing himself in a No. 24 Cowboys jersey.
There was no caption attached, only three teasing emojis. That was enough to send the speculation machine spinning.
The post immediately raised the obvious questions: is Miller hinting at something real, are the Cowboys and the DeSoto native actually talking, or is he just having fun with everyone? Whatever the answer is, people are already trying to sort it out.
Miller is 37 now, and he’s not the same wrecking ball he once was, but he still brought real production in 2025 with the Washington Commanders. In a part-time role, he finished with nine sacks, 36 pressures, 15 quarterback hits and 22 hurries, according to Pro Football Focus. He also posted a 67.2 PFF run-defense grade and 17 defensive stops, showing he can still hold up against the run.
That kind of output would have put him right in the mix with Jadeveon Clowney as the Cowboys’ best edge presence.
And that’s the heart of the conversation here: Dallas could use him. The Cowboys are trying to build their pass rush around 2025 second-round pick Donovan Ezeiruaku, but he isn’t there yet.
Malachi Lawrence has shown promise, but he’s still a rookie. Rashan Gary is the most complete EDGE on the roster, though he fits better as a No. 2 rusher than the centerpiece.
Miller also brings more than just name value. He crossed paths with defensive coordinator Christian Parker in Denver and has experience with pass-rush specialist BT Jordan.
If there’s real mutual interest between Miller and Dallas, the case is pretty straightforward. Even in a limited role, he’d give Parker’s defense a proven veteran with juice left in the tank.

Former Cowboys Defender Linked To Disturbing New Allegations
Former Cowboys defensive end Marcellus Wiley is back in the news for the wrong reasons, with his name now attached to a Florida domestic violence arrest and a separate set of allegations from his wife, Annemarie, that have pushed the situation well beyond a routine legal dispute. For Dallas fans who remember Wiley from his time on the edge, the story has taken on a deeply personal and unsettling tone as it moves from an alleged hotel altercation into family court and public accusations.
Annemarie has filed for divorce and sought a restraining order, while Wiley has denied the allegations and said he is focused on protecting their children as the legal process plays out. The case has already become more complicated with the couples family at the center of it, and the next developments are likely to matter as much for the personal fallout as for whatever comes next in court.

Cowboys Have One Clear Answer To Washingtons Rasul Douglas Move
Washingtons addition of Rasul Douglas gives the Commanders another experienced option in their cornerback room, and it naturally puts a little more focus on how Dallas stacks up on the back end. The Cowboys have their own reasons to keep looking at the position, especially with the NFC East always turning roster moves into a measuring stick, and the contrast between the two teams corner groups is hard to ignore.
One name that keeps surfacing in that conversation is Kenny Moore, the veteran slot corner who was released by Indianapolis in May after the Colts were unable to find a trade partner. Moore has been one of the leagues more reliable nickel defenders for years, with a track record of handling a heavy workload inside and enough versatility to give a defense some flexibility. For Dallas, that kind of profile makes sense as the secondary continues to take shape around a division rivals latest move. [Read more 🡒]
Cowboys Pass Rush Just Sent A Message Fans Needed To See
A handful of Cowboys defenders are heading to Las Vegas next week for a pass-rush summit that says plenty about where this team wants its edge to come from. Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku, Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark are set to join coach Brandon Jordan at the 2026 Sack Summit, a three-day gathering built for NFL rushers to trade technique, ideas and the kind of details that can change a season.
The timing matters, too, with training camp opening July 28 and Dallas still trying to bounce back from a defense that never found enough answers last year. For a unit that needs more disruption up front and better resistance against the run, the trip is less about offseason networking than it is about showing up with a plan, a sharper toolbox and a clearer sense of what the Cowboys need from them once camp begins.
