As the legendary pass rusher tells it, he received two contract offers for the 2025 campaign. One was from the Washington Commanders, where he ultimately signed and racked up nine sacks across 17 games.
Miller’s other offer came from the Seattle Seahawks, who went on to win Super Bowl 60 over the New England Patriots.
Seattle’s success has left Miller ruing his decision not to join the Seahawks.
“Obviously, I picked the wrong team on that one,” Miller told Steve Smith and James Palmer on their “89” podcast.

[Trey Amos] may have been the brightest spot among the rookie class after starting in eight of his ten appearances where he went on to record 32 tackles and tie three other rookies with six passes defended ahead of week 11. Yet the questions now stem from his recovery after Amos was placed on injured reserve back on Nov. 11 after suffering a fractured fibula.
