The Green Bay Packers have made it clear that they need more pass-rush help, with Micah Parsons suffering an ACL injury last season.
The franchise moved on from Rashan Gary, and now there is a need for another player to give the defense some pass-rush juice.
Some think that could come from the NFL Draft, but others think that a veteran free agent could be useful.
And for CBS Sports' Garrett Podell, he's named Von Miller as a potential candidate for Green Bay.
"Miller makes plenty of sense on the Packers, given Micah Parsons' situation. Parsons is recovering from a torn ACL," Podell wrote. "Miller would be an ideal addition to hold down the fort at the edge rusher spot opposite former first-round pick Lukas Van Ness until Parsons gets back."

Packers set for big 2026?
Having been playoff contenders for the past couple of seasons, the Packers have yet to make it all the way to the Super Bowl.
Yes, had Micah not gotten injured last season, you could have made the case that Green Bay might have.
But if Miller is signed, the Packers will get a top rotational pass rusher who still makes defenses nervous when he's on the field.
No, he isn't the game-wrecker he once was, but he still provides plenty of terror along the offensive line.
And having that sustained pressure could make all the difference for the Packers.
