The Kansas City Chiefs are no strangers to chasing big-name talent, and with the 2025 offseason in full swing, they might have their eyes on a pass-rushing legend: Von Miller. Despite a solid duo in George Karlaftis and Charles Omenihu, the Chiefs, coming off a Super Bowl LIX loss, aren’t ones to shy away from bolstering their roster in free agency. At 36, Miller could step into Kansas City as their best pass rusher, bringing a veteran presence to a team hungry for another championship.
Miller’s market value has taken a hit—before this offseason, he might’ve commanded $10 million a year, but with the Buffalo Bills replacing him with a younger Joey Bosa for $12 million, a more modest one-year, $7 million deal could be in play for the Chiefs. Even at his age, Miller remains elite, thanks to his masterful pass-rushing technique. His quick first step, ability to convert speed into power, and arsenal of moves—like a deadly spin, inside rush, or perfectly timed jumps—make him a nightmare for offensive linemen. He can dip low to turn the corner on tackles, and his precise hand placement on inside moves keeps blockers guessing.
In Kansas City, Miller would be a situational pass rusher, likely used on obvious passing downs like second-and-long or third downs. He primarily rushed off the left side during his three years in Buffalo, but could slide to the right to pair with Karlaftis, giving the Chiefs a dynamic edge duo. While Miller’s name has flown under the radar, he’s arguably the best pass rusher still available on the open market. For a championship-caliber team like the Chiefs, adding a player of his caliber could be the difference-maker they need to get back to the Super Bowl—and Miller’s proven he’s still got the skills to wreak havoc.
