Von Miller set to join his hometown Dallas Cowboys after agreeing to 1-year deal

The useful part

The NFL' s active leader in sacks has agreed to a one-year contract for what will be his third team in three seasons, and second consecutive NFC East home. Dallas has only have two full practices remaining in its annual three-week California excursion. Miller, who has 138 1/2 sacks over 14 seasons, dropped the quarterback nine times in his only season with Washington a year ago.

How it works

• The 37-year-old went to high school south of Dallas and starred at Texas A&M before Denver drafted Miller second overall in 2011.
• He was the Super Bowl MVP when the Broncos won the 2015 title with a dominant defensive performance against Seattle.
• Miller was The Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year with 11 1/2 sacks in his NFL debut 15 years ago and was an All-Pro three times in his first six seasons.
• His stint with the Bills was plagued by injuries and a Dallas domestic violence case that led to a four-game suspension.
• Even though Miller has been mostly a backup the past three seasons, the nine sacks with the Commanders were his most since he had 9 1/2 in his second Super Bowl-winning season.

Details worth keeping

Miller is expected to arrive on the West Coast on Monday. Camp practices will resume in Texas next week. He joined the Commanders after he was cut by Buffalo in a salary cap move.
