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.”
Miller is already thinking about what comes next as he enters the final stretch of his playing career. He made it clear he wants to move into an NFL front office once his time on the field ends, with the ultimate goal of becoming a general manager.

Ideally, that opportunity brings him back to the Broncos. Miller also got specific about where he sees himself fitting in that environment. He said he doesn’t view himself as someone built for handling contracts, salary figures or the business side centered on numbers.
He also doesn’t see his strength as spending endless hours buried in film study strictly from a scouting perspective. Instead, Miller believes his value lies in understanding people and how successful organizations function day to day.
He pointed to relationship-building, team structure and knowing how to organize the routine demands of an NFL operation as areas where he could make a real impact. Having spent years inside winning locker rooms, Miller feels he knows exactly what a championship standard looks like and what it takes to maintain one.
