Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller has confirmed his intention to play in the 2026 NFL season and has already lobbied Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton for a potential return to the franchise, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.
The veteran pass rusher, who is currently under contract with the Buffalo Bills, made it clear that he is "for sure" playing for someone in 2026. Miller spent the first decade of his legendary career in Denver, where he established himself as the franchise's all-time leader in sacks and led the defense to a world championship. Despite his age and recent injury history, Miller remains focused on extending his career into his late 30s.
The report indicates that Miller has already initiated contact with Sean Payton to express his desire to rejoin the Broncos organization. Miller was traded from Denver to the Los Angeles Rams midway through the 2021 season, eventually winning a second Super Bowl ring before signing a lucrative deal with Buffalo in 2022. While he remains a key part of the Bills defense for the immediate future, his sights are clearly set on a reunion in the Mile High City before he retires.
