The comments mark Miller’s second explicit hint in January that a reunion is possible. In addition to the recent remarks, he previously said he would love to rejoin the team and contribute in the linebacker room alongside players such as Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper.
From a football perspective, a return makes sense for both parties. Denver already features emerging edge rushers in Bonitto and Cooper, which could allow Miller to contribute without carrying a heavy workload. Bonitto finished the season with 14 sacks and is a contender for Defensive Player of the Year, while Miller remains the Broncos’ all-time sack leader.
Miller’s own case remains strong. At 36, he finished the season with nine sacks, bringing his career total to 138.5, which ties former teammate DeMarcus Ware for ninth on the NFL’s all-time sacks list. If he adds 3.5 more sacks, he would climb to sixth all-time, a milestone he has pursued in recent years. He has said retirement isn’t on his radar, and he has publicly expressed a clear interest in returning to Denver.
His legacy with the Broncos helps frame the discussion. Miller authored one of the most iconic postseason performances in NFL history during Super Bowl 50 and has produced eight Pro Bowls and multiple All-Pro honors throughout a storied career.
Whether Denver will welcome him back remains uncertain, as the Broncos have not publicly reciprocated his interest. Miller, however, has made his intentions clear twice this month, framing a potential reunion as a storyline to watch in 2026.
