On Monday, he was seen sharing stories about Denver on Instagram, with a photo of himself in a Broncos jersey. The social media activity has led to many NFL fans especially Broncos fans sensing his impending return.

He will be looking to explore free agency for the first time in his NFL career and might choose what he feels is right.

In one of his story posts, he states, “I wonder if they will give me my old locker back?” He also wonders about choosing between two jersey numbers in 58 and 40. It seems there might be a battle between both the franchises and even some other teams for a player whose quality is undeniable.

Von Miller sets himself for a big payday

The veteran player has been playing in the league for more than a decade and still puts up elite performances when called upon. He is one of the top free-agent players in the upcoming 2022 market and ranks 7th in Gregg Rosenthal’s Top 101 NFL Free Agents of 2022. It will be a great acquisition for any team to sign Miller, a commanding defensive presence.

If he does decide to go back to Denver, the Broncos are flush with cap space, and it will be easy to sign Miller. But the Rams, however, will not be as flush and will need to work to bring him back next season.
