Von Miller to Patriots: Low-Cost Pass Rush Boost

0:00It's April 28th. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the leak in real-time. The New England Patriots' past rush struggled last season and just lost a key guy, Kalavon Sheson, who had a breakout year before, signing with the buy-in, Washington Commanders. To fill the gap, they grabbed Jermon Jones in free agency and drafted Gabe Joccas, but they still need more heat up front. Mr. Vaughn Miller, the future Hall of Famer who's sitting out there as a free agent and could be the perfect boost. Miller's 37 now, but don't sleep on him. He racked up nine sacks and 10 tackles for loss last year with the Commanders starting only three. Games and playing under 40% of snaps, that's more production than anyone on the Pats defense, all while staying healthy the whole season. This guy's a legend, a time pro-buller, three time all pro, two time Super Bowl champ, an MVP of Super Bowl 50. He's not the every down beast from his Denver days anymore, but in a rotational role hunting

Pats fans are buzzing about how he could slide right in as depth without eating snaps from Landry, Joccas or Jones, pure situational fire. Bottom line, Miller's a low-cost vet who'd mentor the young guys and insure against injuries, keeping that pass for us rolling without breaking the bank, smart move if they pull the trigger.
