Von Miller Hints at Possible Broncos Return in NFL Free Agency via IG Story Posts

Free-agent linebacker Von Miller is seemingly considering a return to the Denver Broncos this offseason based on his latest social media posts:

"I wonder if they will give me my old locker back," Miller wrote in the picture.

He also posed the question "58 or 40," referring to the numbers he wore with the Broncos and Los Angeles Rams.

Miller was in his 11th season with the Broncos before a midseason trade to the Rams. The 32-year-old helped Los Angeles win the Super Bowl, tallying two sacks in the 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but he is now set to become a free agent.

The 32-year-old should be in high demand as one of the most accomplished players in the NFL with eight Pro Bowl selections, two Super Bowl titles and 115.5 career sacks. An Achilles injury cost him all of 2020, but he returned strong with 9.5 sacks in 15 games between Denver and Los Angeles.

His four sacks in four playoff games showed the impact he can have for a defense.

The Broncos were willing to let him go in the middle of a 7-10 season in exchange for a second- and third-round pick in the 2022 draft. Getting Miller back in free agency would make the trade look even better as the squad stays competitive while still adding for the future.

Denver finished last year with the No. 3 scoring defense in the NFL last year, but the unit could get even scarier with a healthy Miller.

If the offense can improve after ranking 23rd in scoring last year, the Broncos could be a legitimate playoff contender in 2022.
