Von Miller Makes It Clear: He Wants a Broncos Reunion
Veteran linebacker Von Miller is still on the market as NFL teams move through OTAs, but the future Hall of Famer has one destination at the top of his list — a return to the Denver Broncos. In a new interview with the Denver Post, Miller openly stated that he has been lobbying for a chance to rejoin the franchise where he became a superstar and won Super Bowl 50 MVP honors.
Miller didn’t hide his intentions. He wants Denver, and he believes he can still help the team win.
Von Miller: “I Lobby… I Do Lobby”
Miller told reporter Parker Gabriel that he has been pushing for a reunion both publicly and privately. He emphasized that he still brings value on and off the field.
“I lobby. I do lobby… I think there’s no question the type of environment I bring to a locker room and to a team… At 37 years old I can still roll out of bed and rush the quarterback.”
Miller highlighted two things he believes he still offers:
- Pass‑rush ability
- Locker‑room leadership
He also stressed that he’s not asking for a starting role, just the same rotational job he held last season.
Miller’s 2025 Season Proved He Can Still Contribute
While he hasn’t made a Pro Bowl since 2019, Miller delivered a strong bounce‑back season with the Washington Commanders in 2025:
- 26 tackles
- 9 sacks
- Played 37% of defensive snaps
It was a role he embraced, and one he believes he can replicate in Denver.
“Last year I played 37 percent of the defensive snaps… I feel like I can do the same exact thing I did with the Washington Commanders.”
That level of production from a rotational edge rusher is exactly why Miller still draws interest around the league.
Would the Broncos Have Room for Him?
Denver fielded one of the best defenses in the NFL last season, which makes roster competition tight. The team already has young pass rushers and a deep rotation, meaning Miller would need to fit into a very specific role.
Still, Miller believes he can carve out a spot and provide value as a situational rusher, especially on third downs and late‑game pressure situations.
Why a Reunion Makes Sense
A Miller‑Broncos reunion would be more than nostalgia. It would give Denver:
- A proven veteran who understands the culture
- A situational pass rusher who can still win one‑on‑one
- A mentor for the team’s young defensive core
And for Miller, it would be a chance to finish his career where it began — in the city where he became a legend.
