2026 Outlook

Veteran edge rusher seeking return after a nine-sack season with Washington Commanders in 2025. Playing at 37, Miller still "can still roll out of the bed and still rush the quarterback" per his own assessment. Would serve as a complementary pass rusher alongside Nik Bonnito (who totaled 27.5 sacks across 2024-2025). Miller has publicly lobbied for a reunion with Denver, his original team that drafted him No. 2 overall in 2011. He was the Super Bowl 50 MVP and still holds the Broncos' franchise record with 110.5 sacks.

Miller's 2025 was significant: his nine sacks led Washington and marked his highest total since 2021. He played every game for the first time since 2018, ending a stretch where injuries limited him to 38 games between 2020-2023. A fourth-game suspension in 2024 showed durability concerns remain, but 2025's injury-free season suggests he's stabilized.

If signed by Denver, Miller would not be a starter but a veteran rotational player and locker-room presence. His fantasy value as an edge rusher is minimal in standard redraft formats but could have some relevance in IDP (Individualized Defensive Player) and DFS contests targeting veteran role players. Primary value is team-building and veteran leadership rather than fantasy production.

Miller has expressed interest in being the "vice president" to young core players Bo Nix (QB) and Courtland Sutton (WR), wanting to "bring back the Super Bowl 50 vibes" and mentor the next generation of Broncos. In late May, Miller doubled down on his pitch to Sean Payton: "I lobbied, I do lobby, I lobbied publicly, privately, so I lobbied. I think there's no question the type of environment I bring to a locker room... I'm still a great guy in the locker room, I bring great energy." He expressed confidence in his abilities: "I don't want to pat myself on the back, but at 37 years old, I can still roll out of the bed and still rush the quarterback." (per Von Miller wants to play in 2026, has 'lobbied' Broncos HC Sean Payton and Von Miller wants another run with the Broncos. Would you bring him back?)

After the blockbuster trades of Myles Garrett and A.J. Brown in early June, other teams are active in the market. Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson publicly urged the team to pursue Von Miller, posting on social media "Might as well get Von back !!!" Miller was a free-agent signing with Buffalo in 2022 and is now a candidate for veteran reunions as contenders strengthen their rosters (per After Blockbuster NFL Trades, C.J. Gardner-Johnson Urges Bills to Sign Von Miller).

Injury Status

Healthy entering 2026 after injury-free 2025 season.
