Dallas Cowboys

Of all the teams on the list, this one might make the most sense.

Miller was born in Dallas and starred at Texas A&M in college. He is a Texas boy through and through and if he had a preference, this may be the one other team besides the Broncos he would like to play for.

And the timing works as well, because the Cowboys are a contender and we all know how much Jerry Jones would like to win another Super Bowl. That’s why he would probably be willing to meet the Broncos’ price to acquire the star pass-rusher.

Currently, the Cowboys have just eight team sacks on the season, which ranks near the bottom of the league. Their defense is much improved from a year ago, but they still have issues getting to the quarterback.

Dan Quinn, the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator, is one of the better defensive minds in the league and would light up at the thought of adding Miller to a linebacking corps that already includes Micah Parsons and Leighton Vander Esch.

The Cowboys should win the NFC East going away this year, but if they want to get past the long line of contenders in the NFC to reach the Super Bowl, they might need to make a drastic move.

This is one of that would make a lot of sense for a lot of reasons.
