Jerry Jones still open to substantive move despite adding Von Miller
The Dallas Cowboys have signed veteran linebacker Von Miller, though owner Jerry Jones remains open to further trades to bolster the team's defensive roster. Jones expressed optimism about the team's Super Bowl prospects, drawing parallels to past successful mid-season acquisitions.
Why it matters
Strategic roster management and high-profile acquisitions are critical for NFL teams aiming to maximize championship windows.
The Cowboys agreed to terms with veteran outside linebacker Von Miller on Sunday. He is expected in camp on Monday night and will begin the ramp-up process on Tuesday.
B.T. Jordan, a pass rush consultant for the Cowboys, is the personal pass rush coach for Miller. Jordan vouched for the 37-year-old Miller, who had nine sacks last season while playing 37 percent of the snaps in 17 games.
“You get someone that’s been there and done that ,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said of Miller, via Tommy Yarrish of the team website. “He trains with our consulting trainer, and boy, [Jordan] had been telling us for all this past year, ‘Boy if we could get [Miller].’ He knew first-hand because he works with him all the time and knew that he could help us. And of course, that trainer is working with all of our guys. We feel real good.
