Von Miller brings hope to the Commanders (but it won’t fix everything)

The Washington Commanders finally ticked the edge-rusher box by handing two-time Super Bowl champion Von Miller a one-year deal, but there's still room for a more versatile quarterback hunter. A veteran who would expand the ways head coach Dan Quinn and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. can create pressure.

Experimenting with different looks can begin in earnest at training camp if the Commanders bring in Za'Darius Smith to join Miller. Three-time Pro Bowler Smith could adopt the same situational role, but he would move across the front more often.

The Commanders need that level of flexibility to compensate for an ageing front seven.
