Green Bay Packers Named Landing Spot for Future Hall of Fame Pass Rusher

The Green Bay Packers are in their win-now window with Jordan Love and Micah Parsons on the roster. Brian Gutekunst has emphasized their contender status throughout the offseason, as he has added more veteran talent.

Over the past few seasons, Green Bay has had the youngest roster in the NFL, as they developed in the post-Aaron Rodgers era.

However, they have now reached the all-in window with Love at the helm, and added players like linebacker Zaire Franklin and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave.

They could look to add another veteran to the roster in free agency, as CBS Sports named the Packers as the ideal landing spot for Von Miller.

Miller is a future Hall of Famer, as he has had a storied career as one of the league's best pass rushers. At 37 years old, Miller is no longer a dominant player, but he has shown he can still be impactful.

In the 2025 season with the Washington Commanders, Miller finished with 26 total tackles, six tackles for loss, nine sacks, and 15 quarterback hits.

He is nearing the end of his career and will likely want to play for a contender. The Packers could use another edge rusher opposite Micah Parsons as he recovers from a torn ACL.

Green Bay traded away Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the offseason while allowing Kingsley Enagbare to leave in free agency.

This left the pass rush room with Parsons, Lukas Van Ness, Barryn Sorrell, and Collin Oliver.

While the Packers expect their young edge rushers to play a key role in 2026, adding a veteran like Miller would bolster their defense.

He could be a mentor for the younger pass rushers while still being a productive player on the field. Miller could also be especially vital in the first few weeks of the season, as Parsons likely won't be ready to return for Week 1.

Gutekunst and the front office have shown they aren't waiting around anymore, and now is the time to win the Super Bowl. Signing a former All-Pro in Miller could help the pass rush be potent in 2026 in their new defense under Jonathan Gannon.
