Von Miller says he is not finished.
At age 36, Miller played the 2025 season for the Washington Commanders. Miller had been signed just before training camp with the plan that he would be used in passing situations to provide pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Miller managed to get playing time in all 17 regular-season games, but apparently will not be re-signed by the Commanders.
Early in the offseason, Peters and head coach Dan Quinn showed focus by re-signing or extending veterans such as P Tress Way, OT Andrew Wylie, C Nick Allegretti, DE Deatrich Wise, OT Laremy Tunsil, and QB Marcus Mariota. Next, Peters turned to signing free agents from other teams who could rush the passer, such as Odafe Oweh, Charles Omenihu, and K'Lavon Chaisson.
When the draft came in April, Peters selected Tennessee edge pass rusher Joshua Josephs with the No. 147 draft pick in the fifth round. Miller has not been re-signed by the Commanders, and with Peters declaring in his post-season press conference in January that he knew the Commanders needed to get younger and faster, the handwriting was on the wall for the older Commanders' free agents, such as Miller.
Miller is to be commended on his play during the 2025 season. He did provide pass rush, accomplishing nine QB Sacks, 26 tackles (16 Solo, 10 Assisted), 6 tackles for a loss and 15 QB hits. Miller says he will play again in 2026.
The Super Bowl 50 MVP announced this week that he wants to re-sign with his former team, the Denver Broncos. When asked about approaching the Broncos, Miller quickly asserted, "I lobbied, I do lobby, I lobbied publicly, privately, so I lobbied.''
Having turned 37 in March, Miller firmly believes he is not yet finished and that he can still contribute to an NFL defense and team. "I had nine sacks last year... I'm not on my last flame, this year, hopefully I'm not in my last year, but if it is, I want to go out showing guys what I got.''
