Von Miller is one of the greatest pass rushers the NFL has ever seen.
However, even a player of his caliber might find it tough to get a new contract at 36 years old.
Miller is hoping to play a 15th season but he has yet to sign with any team.
He’s opened up about his love for the Denver Broncos multiple times, and he’s always left the door open for a reunion.
Nevertheless, he knows the Broncos might not need him at the moment, given the roster they have.
> “I haven’t heard anything. But I mean, if you look at it this year … it really doesn’t make sense (to join the Broncos). They got two really, really good rushers that are best in the league, Jonathon Cooper and Nik Bonitto, they are incredible rushers,” Miller [said](https://apnews.com/article/von-miller-broncos-bills-free-agent-d4cad9cd82d7617a202bac884674cf07). “I think at 36 years old, I can say that I probably won’t be doing that. But, yeah, just this year, probably not. But, you know, the year after that, next year, we’ll see what happens.”
The Broncos took Miller with the No. 2 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, and he was a superstar in Denver.
He amassed the most sacks in franchise history (110.5) and helped them win Super Bowl 50 as the game’s MVP.
Then, the Broncos traded him to the Los Angeles Rams during the 2021 season, when he went on to win another championship.
The Buffalo Bills later signed him to a lucrative deal, but injuries kept him on the shelf for a significant portion of that stretch.
They released him in March to shave some money from their payroll.
Miller has 129.5 sacks in his career, and though he’s not getting any younger and knows he might not be the prime pass rusher he once was, he can be a productive player and a leader in the locker room.
He most likely would join the Broncos in a heartbeat, but that homecoming dream might have to wait a little longer.
