NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Von Miller, newly signed to the Dallas Cowboys on a one-year deal, currently does not have an official jersey number on the team's roster and is uncertain which number he will wear.
- Miller has worn several numbers throughout his career, including 40 at Texas A&M and with the Rams and Bills, 58 with the Broncos, and 24 with the Commanders last season.
- He declined to wear No. 94, a number associated with former Cowboy DeMarcus Ware, emphasizing respect for Ware's legacy.
- Miller prefers to wear No. 40, but fullback Hunter Luepke currently holds that number; Miller humorously offered a lifetime supply of chicken to negotiate the number.
- Despite the jersey number uncertainty, Miller stressed his focus is on winning games and pursuing a Super Bowl, with the number being a secondary concern; he was seen wearing No. 40 during a joint practice with the Saints.
