For his part, Miller can help Washington's other pass rushers, though his skill set is different than theirs. Miller started a pass rush summit in 2017 -- now named the Sack Summit -- to bring together defensive linemen and help them get after the passer better.

Joe Gibbs' great teams, at various times, also signed veteran pass rushers to supplement their younger rushers. Perhaps Commanders/Redskins fans will recall such players who fit this role, such as Jumpy Geathers, Tony McGee, Bruce Smith, Coy Bacon, Jimmie Jones, Renaldo Wynn, and Jason Buck.

The Washington Commanders signed 36-year-old Von Miller. He's not slowing down, posting the NFL's fastest get-off time last season and a top-5 pressure rate.
