Von Miller’s one-year deal with the Washington Commanders gives him a chance to earn $10.5 million, NFL Network reported Saturday.
The deal is worth $6.1 million but reportedly can give the three-time All-Pro another $4.4 million in incentives.
Miller, 36, is the NFL’s active leader in sacks with 129.5, but injuries and age are undeniable factors.
Washington had 43 total sacks last season led by Donte Fowler (10.5) and linebacker Frankie Luvu (8.0).
Miller was released by the Buffalo Bills in March. He had 6.0 sacks last season and has won the Super Bowl twice, once with the team that drafted him — the Denver Broncos — and also with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Commanders acquired proven Pro Bowl talent in the offseason, trading for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Deebo Samuel, after reaching the NFC Championship game in head coach Dan Quinn’s first season in Washington.
Miller had 110.5 sacks in his first 10 seasons with the Broncos, who drafted him No. 2 overall out of Texas A&M in 2011. He was Defensive Rookie of the Year and later the Super Bowl 50 MVP when the Broncos defeated Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.
In three seasons with the Bills, Miller never played in more than 13 games. The Bills signed him to a six-year, $120 million deal in 2022.
