Von Miller Seeks No. 40 Jersey with Cowboys Amid Number Negotiations

Von Miller, who recently signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys, is currently without a designated jersey number on the team's official roster. He has expressed a desire to wear No. 40, a number he previously donned at Texas A&M and during his time with the Rams and Bills.

While Miller has worn various numbers throughout his career, including 58 with the Broncos and 24 with the Commanders, he is particularly keen on No. 40. However, that number is currently assigned to fullback Hunter Luepke. Miller has indicated that he has made offers to Luepke to negotiate for the number, suggesting that he is willing to make a deal, including a humorous proposal of a lifetime supply of chicken.

Despite his interest in the number, Miller emphasizes that his primary focus is on winning games and contributing to the team's success. He participated in a joint practice with the Saints while wearing No. 40, indicating his readiness to integrate with the team.
