Von Miller to Packers: Boosting Edge Rush, Locker Room

0:00On April 3rd, the Green Bay Packers face a tricky spot heading into the 20-26 off-season with no first round draft pick and back-to-back. Early playoff knockouts. Their roster looks strong overall, but the edge rush spots screens for help after trading with Sean Gary, losing Kingsley and Oddbear to free agency, and dealing with Michael Parsons recovering from a torn ACO that might sideline him past week one. Those like this don't want to roll with rookies Lucas Van Ness and Barron Cerelle as everyday starters, so free agency calls. CVS Sports's Garrett Pradell spotlighted future Hall of Famer, Vaughn Miller, as a prime fit for Green Bay, pairing him opposite Van Ness to bridge the gap until Parsons heals up. Miller's no spring chicken, but he balled out in 2025 with the Washington commanders, hitting all 17 games for 26, tackles, 6 for loss, 9 sacks, and 36 pressures per pro football focus. Dues got 8 pro bowls, 2 Super Bowl rings, and 3 first team all pro nods.

Miller could slide in rotationally, boost the locker room, and chase ring number 3 on a squad sitting seventh in Super Bowl odds at plus 15, 100. Word is Miller's eye in contenders, and Green Bay fits if they pull the trigger, keeping their NFC push alive without over-committing long-term. Stay locked in with NFL News Today, AI-powered updates.
