Von Miller's ideal landing spot could be with another NFC contender
Former Washington Commanders linebacker Von Miller is still in search of a team for 2026, and one NFC team could be a perfect match.
Veteran linebacker Von Miller became a free agent in 2026 after spending just one season with the Washington Commanders . Miller signed with the team after witnessing the stellar 2024 performance, but the Commanders could not repeat what they did in 2024 in 2025, in large part due to injuries. Miller is a 14-year veteran in the NFL, and while he still has some juice left in the tank, his age plays a part in how other teams view him.
So, if he's not going to re-sign with the Commanders (possible, but unlikely), where should he look? A recent CBS Sports article suggested the Green Bay Packers would be an ideal landing spot for Miller. Miller could thrive in a part-time role behind Micah Parsons.
Von Miller chose to sign with the Washington Commanders in 2025 after seeing them finish as the 2024 NFC runners-up behind Jayden Daniels' NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year performance. Then, the 2025 season went completely downhill with Daniels and others dealing with injury issues. Coach Dan Quinn moved on from both offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.
Washington finished with the 22nd-ranked scoring offense (20. 9 points per game) and the 27th-ranked scoring defense (26. 5) in a year that ended with a 5-12 record.
