Summary
Von Miller is expected in Oxnard on Monday night after agreeing to terms Sunday, with Dallas planning a ramp-up process before integrating the active career sacks leader.
B.T. Jordan — the Cowboys' pass-rush consultant who has trained Miller — helped validate the move, with Jerry Jones saying Jordan had vouched for Miller's shape, quickness and ability to help the defense.
Jones said Dallas is still willing to make a "substantive" roster move, arguing the team looks stronger than it did at the start of camp and could justify using future assets to improve now.
A 17-7 preseason win over Seattle reinforced that optimism, with Jones praising the defense under new coordinator Christian Parker while saying the roster still has significant room to improve.
Jones also reiterated his belief in Dak Prescott, saying the quarterback is capable of taking Dallas to a Super Bowl as the franchise chases its first title in 30 years.
