Von Miller Sends First Message to Commanders Fans Following Contract Report

Von Miller Sends First Message to Commanders Fans Following Contract Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Von Miller has had a storied career. He's played 13 seasons in the NFL and is regarded as one of the best linebackers of his generation. After spending a decade with the Denver Broncos, Miller moved onto the Los Angeles Rams for one season. And most recently, he played three seasons with the Buffalo Bills. The now 36 year old has won two Super Bowls (2015 and 2021) and is the active sacks leader (129.5), ranking No. 16 in sacks in NFL history. He was also named Super Bowl MVP in 2015. And now, Miller will reportedly play for his fourth team of his career, the Washington Commanders. After being released by the Bills in early March, it was reported on Wednesday that Miller will be signing a one-year deal with the Commanders. Immediately following the news, Miller took to social media, sending his first message to Commanders fans. "DC ...What's good?" Miller posted to his official X account. Miller also posted two images of himself in a Commanders jersey on his official Instagram account. Miller will join a Commanders team that is on the rise and currently possesses a mix of young talent and talented veterans. Commanders quarterback, Jayden Daniels, is getting set to enter his second season in the NFL with high expectations. As for the defense, Miller will join fellow veteran LB, Bobby Wagner. The Commanders also have veteran cornerback, Marshon Lattimore on their roster. Both Wagner and Lattimore will enter their second season with the Commanders. The Commanders finished last season with a 12-5 record, their first season above .500 since 2015. They made it to the NFC Championship before getting eliminated by the eventual Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagles. Miller's contract won't become official until he passes a physical with the team, and time will tell if he'll be ready and available for the Commanders first preseason game in just three weeks on August 8. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Chargers predicted to acquire former No. 4 overall draft pick teetering on bust status

The Los Angeles Chargers made several improvements to their roster this offseason with the mindset of adding more weapons for Justin Herbert. But they weren't able to do much at the tight end position. Colston Loveland was believed to be the team's top first-round draft target as he played at Michigan under Jim Harbaugh, but he went to the Chicago Bears with the No. 10 overall pick, much higher than anyone expected him to go. The team then had to pivot and ended up settling on Oronde Gadsden II in the fifth round. Gadsden has already turned heads since being drafted by the team and could turn into a huge value this season. But with only the rookie to go along with Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin, more help could be found. The Atlanta Falcons have never gotten what they hoped for out of Kyle Pitts, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and could choose to part ways with him before the season starts. According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the team has no current plans to extend Pitts, leading to ideas that he could be traded. David Latham of Last Word on Sports took to that idea and came up with some potential landing spots for Pitts, listing the Chargers among that group. "The Los Angeles Chargers have arguably the league's weakest group of tight ends. Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin are both unremarkable veterans, and Justin Herbert could use someone with more upside in this passing attack. Kyle Pitts may not be the safest bet, but the Falcons tight end offers plenty of promise. Head coach Jim Harbaugh excels at getting the most out of his players, so perhaps a change of scenery could have Pitts looking like his dominant Florida self", wrote Latham. It would depend on what the Falcons would ask for in return for Pitts, but this is a move that could make sense for the Chargers, a team that, despite its efforts, still needs more offensive firepower. Pitts is still just 24 years old, but after turning in a solid rookie season in 2021, he's averaged just 42.6 receptions across his last three seasons and with the Falcons having turnover within the coaching staff and at the quarterback position, it has thrown off his trajectory. The Chargers have a much more stable situation with Harbaugh and Herbert and could provide Pitts with the type of offense he can excel in, particularly one with only so many playmakers on the roster as of right now. If the Falcons are really keen on selling, this would be a move for the Chargers to at least check in on.
