Von Miller's Broncos Return: Low-Risk, High-Reward

0:00On March 5th, Vaughn Miller shown as one of the Broncos' top defenders before his trade to the Los Angeles Rams in October, 2021, right before the deadline. That move netted Denver, valuable second and third round draft picks for the then-aging star. Now nearing 37, Miller still craves a return to the Mile High City for some emotional closure he never got. Last season, he proved he's far from done, racking of nine sacks with the Washington commanders in a limited-pass rushing role. That productivity shows he can still disrupt quarterbacks without needing heavy snaps. Some Broncos' fans might roll their eyes at the idea, feeling its old news. But from a team standpoint, the risk feels minimal, what's the harm in exploring a reunion? Denver's edge rush is already stacked with promising youngsters like Nick Benito, Jonathan Cooper, Johnna Ellis, and Kay Robinson handling most. Duties, Miller could slide in for key situations, mentor the group, and add veteran savvy to the league's best-pass rush.
