Von Miller has said he never wanted to leave the Denver Broncos and did not desire a trade. - That might not be completely true. - In a recent story about how the 2021 Los Angeles Rams came together, Greg Bishop and Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated reported a brief remark Miller made to coach Sean McVay at a Los Angeles nightclub in 2018: - Shots were had, along with quite a night. At one point, Miller turned to McVay and said something he never expected would come true. - “Come get me.” - Three years later, McVay traded second- and third-round draft picks to Denver in exchange for Miller. The trade worked out well for all parties — the Broncos got two extra draft picks for a player scheduled to become a free agent in 2022, and the Rams and Miller went on to win the Super Bowl. - Denver will always have a special place in Miller’s heart, and he has repeatedly said he is a ‘Bronco for life,’ but it seems that the idea of leaving the team for a contender was something he thought about as early as three years ago. - It’s hard to blame Miller for that — the Broncos have missed the playoffs in six-straight seasons since winning Super Bowl 50. Miller got out and immediately won a Super Bowl with the Rams. - Miller is now set to become a free agent in March, and it remains to be seen if Miller and Denver will have any interest in a potential reunion. - - RelatedVon Miller and Kenny Young had opposite seasons in 2021Tim Patrick wants Von Miller to sign with Broncos in free agencyVon Miller honored late teammate Demaryius Thomas in Super Bowl winVon Miller made NFL history in Super Bowl LVIVon Miller appreciates support from Broncos fans: 'It’ll always be love' - Follow the Broncos Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - Gallery - Broncos throwback: 50 best photos from Super Bowl 50 - - - - - - view 50 images - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Broncos Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Broncos Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
