Von Miller, who had nine sacks last season with the Commanders, said in early January that he would prefer to stay with the team through 2026.
If that doesn’t work, Miller wants to take a trip down memory lane. Miller reiterates his love of playing in Washington The Rich Eisen Show This week, he shared that his second option is to return to his first NFL team.

“if something is going to happen I’m not the Washington marshal, so I’d love to go to the Denver Broncos,” Miller said. “I didn’t have a chance to close out the game. I didn’t walk into the stadium and say, “Okay, this is my last game” or “I’m going to do this with the fans.” I didn’t get that closure. So, I would love to end up with the Denver Broncos. If, hey, the GMs don’t want me, the Denver Broncos don’t want me, there’s a team that’s going to come get me and they’ll be happy to put my skills on their roster. I just play it by ear. This is the second time I’ve done this. I kind of knew what to expect. I have to make the most of any decision I make. “
Miller played in 142 games, was named to the All-Pro team three times and was named the Super Bowl 50 MVP after being drafted second overall by the Denver Nuggets in 2011. Current Broncos general manager George Paton was in his first year with the team when Miller was traded to the Rams in 2021, but the team made a significant change in direction with the hiring of Sean Payton as head coach in 2023, and they were the top seed in the AFC playoffs last season.
If they view Miller as a player who can help them maintain this position, we could see the edge rusher’s career come full circle before it’s over.
