Summary
At Tuesday's practice, Miller said he offered fullback Hunter Luepke a lifetime of chicken to secure No. 40 for the regular season.
The jersey is central to Miller's recent career arc: he wore No. 40 with the Rams, Bills and at Texas A&M, but does not want No. 58 in Dallas because he ties it to Denver.
No. 94 is also off the table because of its association with Cowboys great DeMarcus Ware, narrowing Miller's options as he settles in with his new team.
Dallas signed the 35-year-old edge rusher to a one-year contract worth up to $7.5 million, hoping he can help a pass rush weakened after Micah Parsons was traded to Green Bay.
