Von Miller isn't exactly keeping his feelings a secret. The legendary pass rusher, who helped deliver a Super Bowl 50 championship to Denver, has been dropping major hints that he'd love to reunite with the Broncos—and his latest social media move has fans buzzing.
On Wednesday, Miller posted an Instagram story showing himself in a Broncos jersey, but with a twist: he was wearing the number 24. For those who remember, Miller donned No. 58 from the moment he was drafted second overall in 2011 until his trade to the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. Since then, he's worn No. 40 with the Rams and Bills, and most recently No. 24 with the Washington Commanders in 2025.
That number choice isn't random. It's a nod to Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey, Miller's teammate from 2011-13. Denver typically honors Bailey's legacy by not issuing No. 24—though it's not officially retired—so seeing Miller in that jersey raises eyebrows. Is he paying homage, or sending a signal?
Miller also shared comments from current Broncos pass rusher Nik Bonitto, who said at a charity event for the Boys and Girls Club that he'd love to line up alongside the future Hall of Famer. That kind of endorsement from a young star only fuels the speculation.
Miller has never hidden his love for Denver, but his recent cryptic posts suggest something bigger. Is he following the path of former teammate Justin Simmons, hinting at a one-day contract to retire as a Bronco? Or is he actively campaigning for a playing return?
The answer isn't clear yet, but one thing is certain: the Broncos already have a full 91-man roster, so they'd need to make room if Miller signs. For now, fans can only wait and watch—and maybe keep an eye on the No. 24 jerseys popping up in Denver.
