Dallas Cowboys sign pass rusher Von Miller to 1-year contract

The Dallas Cowboys have signed eight-time Pro Bowl pass rusher and DeSoto native Von Miller to a one-year deal for his 15th NFL season to help bolster the defense after trading away Micah Parsons.

What they're saying:

Although the win doesn’t mean much, Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer had high praise for the team.

"Number one, that was a great team effort win. Outstanding. Hey, how about the second half defense? I think it was four three or four outs and then we gave them the ball on the 5-yard line and y’all still kept them out," he said. "And the best thing was we were able as a football team to finish the game on offense with four minutes because nobody can stop Joe Milton on a quarterback sneak."

What's next:

The Cowboys will face the Cardinals in the next preseason game on Saturday night.
