Von Miller, Linebacker

Von Miller is a Denver Broncos legend. His legacy with the team was forever set with his MVP performance in Super Bowl 50. But since that amazing game, things have slowly declined, in terms of production, games played and perhaps even effort on the field.

Miller just does not seem to be the same player he used to be and he is likely extremely frustrated with the team’s lack of success since destroying Cam Newton in that Super Bowl.

Miller has also suffered through some injuries and as of now, the most recent image we all have of him is of him limping off the field in Cleveland last Thursday night after what appeared to be a horrific injury.

It seems that he luckily avoided a serious injury, but his days as an elite pass rusher, at least in Denver, seem to be done. He is 32 years old and will be 33 next season and though the team is loyal to him, he probably shouldn’t have been back this year.

The chances of him coming back next year seem slim, even if fans want to see him play for the Broncos and only the Broncos for his entire career.

Though the team will likely have a high asking price, will another team call George Paton before November 2 to try and pry him away from the team he has played for since 2011?
