Overview
- Miller publicly lobbied for a Broncos return on Wednesday and told reporters he will play in 2026 and can still “rush the quarterback.”
- Multiple outlets report the Broncos have not opened formal talks with Miller as of late May, leaving any deal uncertain.
- Miller points to a productive 2025 with the Washington Commanders—nine sacks in a part-time role—and says he would accept a roughly 30–37% snap, situational role.
- Denver’s pass-rush depth, led by Nik Bonitto, Jonathon Cooper and Zach Allen, reduces urgency to add a veteran starter and makes a short one-year, low-guarantee signing the most likely scenario if the team moves.
- A reunion would be significant for Miller’s legacy and the Broncos’ locker room, but it would also highlight common market patterns for aging pass rushers where timing and limited guarantees drive veteran signings.
