FINALLY IT’S DONE: Von Miller Reaches Contract Deal Agreement with Denver Broncos to Complete Sensational Return
After months of speculation and weeks of tense negotiations, it’s finally official: Von Miller is back in Denver. The legendary linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion has agreed to a contract deal with the Denver Broncos, marking a highly anticipated return to the franchise where he became a household name.
Sources close to the negotiations confirm that Miller has signed a two-year deal worth $22 million, with $14 million guaranteed. The agreement brings Miller back to the Mile High City for what many believe could be the final chapter of his illustrious NFL career.
Miller, 35, spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Broncos, where he became a cornerstone of the defense and helped lead the team to victory in Super Bowl 50. During his first stint with the team, Miller earned eight Pro Bowl selections, three All-Pro nods, and etched his name in franchise history as the all-time sack leader.
After being traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 — where he won his second Super Bowl — and spending time with the Buffalo Bills, Miller had always left the door open for a potential return to Denver. Now, that door has swung wide open.
“This is where it all started for me,” Miller said in a statement released Friday morning. “Denver is home. The fans, the city, the memories — it all means everything to me. To be able to come back and finish what I started, it’s truly a blessing.”
The Broncos, who have been seeking veteran leadership and depth on the edge, made it clear that they valued Miller’s experience both on the field and in the locker room. With a young core of defensive talent and a new coaching staff led by head coach Jim Caldwell, the team sees Miller’s return as a critical piece to stabilizing the defense and bringing a championship mindset back to the franchise.
“Von is more than just a great player — he’s a culture-setter,” Caldwell said at Friday’s press conference. “He knows what it takes to win, and having him back in orange and blue sends a powerful message to our locker room and our fans.”
Fans across Broncos Country were quick to celebrate the news. Social media lit up with throwback highlights, emotional tributes, and excited reactions, many hailing Miller’s return as a full-circle moment for the franchise.
While questions remain about Miller’s role in a defense that has evolved since his departure, coaches insist he will be utilized strategically to maximize his impact, particularly on third downs and in critical late-game situations.
Miller is expected to be formally introduced at a press event on Monday and will wear his iconic No. 58 jersey once again.
After years of movement across the league, Von Miller’s NFL journey has finally brought him back home — and Broncos fans couldn’t be happier.
Welcome back, Von.
