Former Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, quite possibly the best defensive player in the team's history, will be continuing his career in 2025.
Rumors had been swirling that Miller was about to land a new deal, and it appears that he has found one. Miller announced on his Instagram account that he will sign a deal with the Washington Commanders.

Broncos fans will always wish that there was a way for Miller to continue his playing career in Denver, but he has made it clear that his heart will always be there. In Washington, he joins an upstart team that reached the NFC Championship Game last year and has a chance to compete. As a 36-year-old pass-rusher just looking to be a situational specialist for a team, this is a great move for Miller.
The Commanders will be the fourth team Miller has played for. The Broncos traded him to the Los Angeles Rams during the 2021 season in exchange for a second and third-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. After half a season in L.A., which included a trip to the Super Bowl, Miller signed with the Buffalo Bills, where he has spent the last three seasons.
In Washington, Miller will join a defense that has savvy veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner and a defensive front led by Daron Payne. The Commanders know they will need all hands on deck to overtake the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East, so Miller may get more of an opportunity there than he would have in many other places.
Miller has 129.5 career sacks, which ranks No. 16 on the league's official list. His 110.5 sacks in Denver are the most in franchise history and whenever his career ends, you can expect Miller to sign a one-day contract with the Broncos to retire in the Mile High City.
But that day is not now, as Miller will give it at least one more run, now playing in the nation's capital.
