Denver Broncos all-time sack leader Von Miller is still looking for a new home for the 2025 season, but according to NFL Network's Brian Baldinger, a deal from another team could be coming quite soon.

Baldinger states that three teams are interested in the services of the 36-year-old pass-rush specialist, but he didn't mention who those teams are. Fans within Broncos Country would hate to see Miller suit up for a team in the AFC West,  but that's exactly what David Latham of Last Word on Sports envisions taking place. 

Latham predicts that the Los Angeles Chargers could be a team that is looking to sign Miller. 

"The Los Angeles Chargers should have Super Bowl aspirations following an impressive first season under head coach Jim Harbaugh. While the team spent the offseason improving the offensive line and running game, they could use another situational pass rusher. Khalil Mack remains among the league’s elite, but Tuli Tuipulotu is nothing special and the rest of the depth chart leaves something to be desired. Von Miller is no longer an every-down player, but he could be an effective situational rusher", wrote Latham. 

Latham is seriously underrating the talent of Tuli Tuipolotu, but the idea of pairing Miller on the same defense with Khalil Mack is the kind of thing Jim Harbaugh would love to do. Although the Chargers swept the Broncos in the season series last year, Harbaugh knows he'll need to keep his foot on the gas to hold off the hard-charging Broncos under Sean Payton. 

Miller, despite playing on just 25 percent of the defensive snaps for the Buffalo Bills last season, still racked up six sacks. The Chargers would gladly take that, and they have the room under the salary cap to give Miller an enticing deal, perhaps even overpay for him. 

It would be tough for Broncos fans to see Miller play and perhaps finish his career in L.A., but unless the team plans to bring him back for one last ride, they will have to deal with the place Miller chooses, as it looks like he intends to continue his playing career.
