​Von Miller appears to regret the choice he made the last time he entered free agency. Last year, Miller, who had expressed interest in potentially returning to the Denver Broncos, ultimately accepted a one-year offer from the Washington Commanders over an offer from the Seattle Seahawks. The Commanders ended the season without a playoff berth, finishing 5-12, while the Seahawks went on to win the Super Bowl.
“I obviously picked the wrong team on that one,” Miller said during a recent appearance on the “89” podcast with Steve Smith and James Palmer. At 37 years old, Miller logged nine sacks for Washington last season. Had he chosen Seattle instead, the veteran edge rusher might have chased a third Super Bowl ring. “It would have been three teams, three different teams with three Super Bowls,” Miller reflected on what might have been. “But that’s just how it’s supposed to be.”
A year after what he called the “wrong team” decision in 2025, Miller is again a free agent. He has repeatedly voiced a desire to return to Denver, the place where his NFL career began, but the Broncos do not appear to have room for him on their roster at the moment. Another possible destination could be his home state of Texas, as Miller posted a Photoshopped image of himself in a Dallas Cowboys uniform on Instagram earlier this week, just days after telling RJ Ochoa that he would love to wear the Cowboys’ star.
Miller has long enjoyed teasing fans with hypothetical social media posts that don’t always translate into real-news moves, so the Cowboys speculation should be viewed with caution. Still, Miller remains a productive rotational pass rusher, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him latch on with an NFL club before the start of the 2026 campaign.
As the offseason unfolds, football observers will be watching where Miller lands next, given his track record of impacting games as a situational pass rusher and his clearly ongoing desire to find a fit that aligns with his career goals. The conversation surrounding Miller’s next team is evolving, with a mix of potential destinations and the ever-present caveat that free agency can be unpredictable.
For now, the latest chapter in Miller’s career includes a candid reflection on a decision that didn’t pan out as hoped, a showcase of his continued value as a veteran presence on the edge, and continued speculation about where he might suit up in 2026. In Denver, his hometown, and beyond, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if the two-time Super Bowl champion can chart a path back to relevance with a new team or possibly return to the one that started it all.
