The Denver Broncos have a ferocious defense with a great pass rush, led by Nik Bonitto.
It could get even better in the 2026 NFL season if they bring back a legend.
Von Miller says he wants to return to Denver.
Speaking on his podcast, Miller noted that he had seen Bonitto on social media saying that Miller is better than Myles Garrett.
Miller appreciated that.
"Y'all make room for me after this season," Miller said. "...I would love to be in that linebacker room and give Nik Bonitto all the knowledge to make him the best version of himself."
Miller summed it up like this: "I would love to be a Denver Bronco next season."
Von Miller wants to sign with the Broncos as a role player behind Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper next year.

Miller, 36, was the No. 2 overall pick of the Broncos in the 2011 NFL Draft.
He spent the first 10 years of his career with Denver, recording 110.5 sacks in 142 games.
Miller also won a Super Bowl with the Broncos.
He's the NFL's active leader in sacks with 138.5 after time with the Rams, Bills and Commanders.
He had a bit of a renaissance season in 2025 with Washington, racking up 9.0 sacks.
Miller is a free agent, and he doesn't seem to be interested in retirement, but instead in going back to where it all started.
