Von Miller spent the last three years waiting for another shot with the Denver Broncos. The 37-year-old edge rusher trained through every offseason and kept his name in the conversation, hoping Denver would bring him back before his career wraps up.

Miller previously made it clear that re-signing with the Broncos remains his top priority this offseason. Miller racked up nine sacks for the Washington Commanders in 2025, his highest total since Denver traded him during the 2021 NFL season.

After his one-year deal in Washington ended, Miller said there was no contact with the Broncos during free agency. Still, he believes broader discussions with teams could start picking up after the 2026 NFL Draft.

Recently, Miller opened up to The Denver Post on Monday about his future and made it clear he wants to return to Denver one way or another. If playing doesn’t work out, he’s open to joining the front office if the Broncos see a role for him there.

“If I don’t go back to Denver and play as a football player,” Miller said, “I would like to go back to Denver and be in the front office, or whatever, in some capacity.”
