Von Miller Prioritizes Commanders Return, Eyes Broncos Reunion for 'Closure'

The 36-year-old pass rusher says he will play a 15th season, preferring a Washington return with Denver as his fallback.

Overview

  • Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, Miller affirmed he is not retiring and stated a desire to re-sign with Washington after logging nine sacks in a rotational role last season.
  • He named the Broncos as his alternative to achieve the 'closure' he missed after being traded from Denver, citing a wish for a proper farewell with fans.
  • Miller played all 17 games for the Commanders in 2025 with three starts, producing 26 tackles and nine sacks on roughly 35–37% of snaps.
  • Analysts note Denver’s edge rotation is already deep with Nik Bonitto, Jonathan Cooper, Jonah Elliss and Que Robinson, projecting Miller as depth rather than a need if signed.
  • He said he chose Washington over a Seahawks offer in 2025 and would make the same call again, though he expects to be a later-wave free agent who could wait for the best fit.
