Sports radio host Adam Schein made it clear Monday that the Dallas Cowboys’ latest roster move has him convinced the team is built for a deep playoff run this season.
Schein, speaking on his Mad Dog Sports Radio show, pointed to the addition of veteran pass rusher Von Miller as the final piece that elevates Dallas into true Super Bowl conversation.
“The Dallas Cowboys will play on Championship Sunday for the first time in 30 years and the brilliant Von move is the cherry on top of this championship… sundae,” Schein said.
The comments came hours after the Cowboys finalized a one-year agreement with the 37-year-old Miller, a DeSoto, Texas, native and Super Bowl 50 MVP who spent last season with the Washington Commanders. Miller brings 138½ career sacks, the most among active players, and nine sacks from his most recent campaign despite limited snaps.
Schein argued the signing is not simply a depth addition but proof the front office is serious about ending years of early postseason exits. He noted that Dallas already possesses a strong quarterback in Dak Prescott, a talented receiving corps and a defense that has been restocked with younger edge talent.
Adding a proven veteran like Miller, Schein said, gives the group the kind of experience that shows up in January.
“The Dallas Cowboys have a great opportunity to go to the Super Bowl and win it!” Schein declared during the same segment. He described the move as further evidence that the Cowboys are legitimate contenders in the NFC this year, not just a team hoping to scrape into the playoffs.
Miller is expected to join the club while it finishes training camp in California and could see action as soon as the regular season begins. At this stage of his career he is unlikely to play every defensive snap, yet Schein believes his presence alone raises the ceiling for the entire unit.
The Cowboys have not reached the NFC Championship game since the 1995 season, a drought that has frustrated fans and media alike. Schein’s prediction that the drought ends this January rests heavily on the belief that Miller’s arrival tips the balance.
He repeatedly called the signing “brilliant,” stressing that Miller still produces pressure and forces opposing offenses to account for him on every third-and-long. The host also pointed to the timing, noting that Miller chose to come home rather than chase bigger money elsewhere, a decision Schein said reflects genuine belief in Dallas’s direction.
Whether the optimism proves accurate will play out over the next five months, but Schein’s Monday monologue left little room for doubt about where he stands.
For a franchise that has spent three decades watching other teams play for the conference title, the combination of youth, proven veterans and home-state talent has at least one prominent voice believing the wait is almost over.
