Denver Broncos Interested in Bringing Back Ex-Bronco Who Carried Peyton Manning to His Last Super Bowl

Veteran linebacker Von Miller capped off his 2021 run with a Super Bowl conquest, grabbing his second championship victory in his career. Now that the athlete may step into the unrestricted free agency market, his former team, The Denver Broncos have showcased an enormous interest in having him back.

Apart from the Broncos, several other teams have made their interest in bagging Von Miller into their teams. This is the first time that the outside linebacker will test free agency and explore the area. Although, what if the Rams extend his contract or sign a new deal?

Do Denver Broncos need the ex-Bronco?

Miller, who spent more than a decade with the Broncos, once stated in an interview that “I always wanted to be a Denver Bronco forever, and I’ll always be a Denver Bronco forever. I’m just here working in LA right now.” Given his admiration and the positive history with the franchise, there can be some expectations for a reunion in the future.

The Broncos are on the lookout for a replacement for Miller, as the team’s pass rush deteriorated since his trade. Furthermore, obtaining a second and third-round pick for a player and then re-signing them a few months later would be a smart move by the Denver Front.

However, Pro Football Network recently stated that a reunion with the Broncos ‘isn’t necessarily Miller’s first option in free agency.’ As always, situations are subject to change, and the athlete may soon solve the mystery.

Will Von Miller make the move?

Even though franchises like the Los Angeles Chargers, Green Bay Packers and the Denver Broncos have sighted enormous interest, the action looks highly questionable. According to NFL News, Von Miller and the Rams have a ‘mutual interest’ in resuming next season after the team wins Super Bowl LVI.

The Packers have expressed interest, but they need to work through some restructures and roster cuts to make room for Miller to add. The Chargers would pair Miller with edge-rusher Joey Bosa in a probable deal. Also, if he lands in Green Bay, He may play with sack artists Preston Smith and Za’Darius Smith.

Von Miller is one of the present generation’s top pass rushers. Moreover, the athlete will also be paid very little by the Rams, as the Broncos have agreed to pay $9 million of Miller’s outstanding $9.7 million contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. After a successful run, the 33-year-old future Hall of Famer would add some more numbers in his contract deal.
