Former Denver Broncos star Von Miller is not entertaining any free agency rumors yet, especially not one about joining his former team’s division rival.
During a recent episode of his “Free Range” podcast, Miller reacted to an Athlon Sports article (that was syndicated by Yahoo Sports) linking him to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2026 free agency.

Before reacting to the report, Miller gave a huge ‘Really?’ look to the camera. “‘They bring Von Miller in to make sure Maxx Crosby stays for at least another year,'” Miller said, mocking the article. “‘Von Miller and Maxx Crosby’s relationship off the field is what’s going to propel this defense to a Super Bowl defense.’ It sounds great. Come on, man.”
Miller still is under contract with the Washington Commanders until the NFL’s new league year (and free agency) begins on March 11, which he acknowledged.
“For one, I’m still a taken man,” Miller said. “I’m still in a relationship with the Washington Commanders. For two, if I’m going to the AFC West, it’s going to be the Denver Broncos.”
Miller was taken aback by the idea of playing the Broncos twice a year. “I don’t think it’s nothing that I can do to take away from my legacy that I’ve already done with the Denver Broncos,” said Miller. “(Playing for Las Vegas is) really the only thing that could make Broncos Country not love me no more.”

Miller has frequently expressed a desire to return to Denver, and pass rusher Nik Bonitto has said he would love to play alongside the franchise icon. Miller would be in a crowded room of talented edge rushers. There is no doubt Miller will eventually return to Denver to retire as a Bronco, but that might be on a one-day contract. Time will tell where he lands for the 2026 season — Las Vegas seems to be off the table.
