Von Miller signing 1-year deal with the Washington Commanders, AP source says

Von Miller is signing with the Washington Commanders, with the NFL's active
sacks leader joining the team roughly a week before training camp opens.
Miller and the team have agreed on a one-year contract, according to a person
familiar with the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition
of anonymity Wednesday night because the contract had not been announced.
"DC... What's good?" Miller posted on social media with an automated image of
himself in a No. 24 Commanders unform.
The 36-year-old edge rusher felt like he still had more to give after getting
released by Buffalo in a salary cap-saving move in March. Injuries derailed his
time with the Bills, limiting him to 11, 12 and 13 games each of the past three
seasons.
Miller had six sacks last year to reach 129 1/2 in his professional career,
which began with nearly a decade with Denver when he was a three-time Pro Bowl
selection. He helped the Broncos win the Super Bowl and was MVP of that game,
then won it again in the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Rams.
Pass rush was the one apparent need Washington had, coming off a 12-win season
with Offensive Rookie of the Year quarterback Jayden Daniels, who led the team
on an improbable trip to the NFC championship game. General manager Adam Peters
acquired receiver Deebo Samuel and standout left tackle Laremy Tunsil in trades
and used free agency to fill other voids on either side of the ball.
