Von Miller Eyes Eagles After Wrong Decision

Miller’s Tough Choice and Mixed Feelings

The 37‑year‑old defensive star has been vocal about his reasons for joining the Washington Commanders, but he also admits the move may have been a mistake. He could have signed with the Seattle Seahawks, who went on to win the Super Bowl, and he now says he probably made the wrong decision. After a solid season with nine sacks, Miller’s contract expired, leaving him a free agent looking ahead to 2026.

Washington completely revamped its edge‑rusher corps, bringing in Odafe Oweh, K’Lavon Chaisson, Charles Omenihu and drafting Joshua Josephs. The Commanders wanted a younger, faster look at the position, and they made it clear Miller won’t be back. Even though he performed well in his lone season, the new roster direction leaves him on the market.

Eagles See a Potential Pass‑Rush Upgrade

Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton listed eight roster moves needed heading into 2026 training camp, and he specifically named Miller for the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have added Jonathan Greenard from the Vikings, but they still lack a reliable pass‑rusher on the opposite side. Nolan Smith Jr., a 2023 first‑round pick, has logged just 10.5 sacks, disappointing fans.

Miller is open to a second stint with the Denver Broncos, where he could play under former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Should he land in Philadelphia, the Eagles’ outside linebacker group would gain depth and a proven pressure threat. General manager Howie Roseman thrives on stocking the roster with pass rushers, so Miller’s arrival would fit that blueprint.

What a Third Super Bowl Could Mean for Miller

Signing with the Eagles would give Miller another shot at a championship ring, his third if it comes to pass. The Commanders’ move on from him signals they’re focused on youth and speed, not a veteran presence. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ need for consistent pass‑rush production aligns with Miller’s skill set and experience.

If the deal happens, it would close a curious chapter for Washington fans while adding a veteran spark to Philadelphia’s defensive line. Miller’s intention to keep playing in 2026 makes the Eagles a logical destination, especially with their offense demanding more edge pressure.
