Overview
- On July 18, Von Miller told Maxx Crosby on Crosby’s podcast that he’d like to play for the Las Vegas Raiders and chanted “Raiders,” a comment that has driven fresh media and fan speculation.
- Miller is a free agent coming off a 9‑sack season in Washington and has said he needs roughly 3.5 more sacks to move up the all‑time leaderboard, which he cited as motivation to keep playing.
- The Raiders finished 18th in team sacks last season with 37 and have limited proven edge depth behind Crosby, making a veteran situational pass rusher an obvious roster interest.
- Las Vegas added Kwity Paye, re‑signed Malcolm Koonce, and drafted Keyron Crawford this offseason, and Crosby’s recent meniscus surgery and a failed March physical that voided a trade to Baltimore complicate any new moves.
- Reporters emphasize the idea is hypothetical: no outlets have confirmed talks between Miller and the Raiders and practical hurdles such as medical checks, age, salary terms, and roster fit would govern any deal.
