Dallas Cowboys veteran pass rusher Von Miller receives his desired jersey number, No. 40, after an agreement with teammate fullback Hunter Luepke. Multiple outlets describe a compensation deal centered on Miller’s poultry business, with the arrangement granting Luepke ongoing benefits connected to chicken.
In the reports, Luepke is portrayed as receiving more than just a one-time gift. The Athletic and CBS Sports say Luepke gains a stake or ownership interest in Miller’s chicken farm, described as Greener Pastures Chicken. Yahoo Sports similarly characterizes the deal as including long-term chicken-related compensation, with one report suggesting Luepke may receive a bigger share than a simple supply.
While the outlets differ on the exact level of ownership described—ranging from a share/percentage to a broader “equity” framing—they all align that the jersey number transfer is tied to Miller’s chicken business and that Luepke benefits materially as part of the swap.
