Von Miller is trying to get his No. 40 to wear with the Dallas Cowboys, and he appears willing to go to great lengths to get it.
Miller’s number is currently being worn by fourth-year fullback Hunter Luepke. While Luepke is regarded as one of the game’s better fullbacks, he obviously does not compare with Miller, who confirmed Tuesday that he has made a few offers to try and get Luepke to part with the number.
One of those offers, according to Miller, is a lifetime supply of chicken.
Cowboys OLB Von Miller will wear No. 40 in today’s practice, but he still has some negotiating to do to take it from FB Hunter Luepke for the regular season.

The usual cost for a jersey number is some money or a high-end gift. Chicken for life might not fall into either of those categories, but Luepke is probably never going to get a more unique offer than that.
Miller agreed to sign with the Cowboys on Monday for a reported max salary of $7.5 million. He should have plenty of money to entice Luepke to give up the number, chicken or no chicken.
