Von Miller’s latest Instagram post features Broncos QB Russell Wilson

Von Miller is at it again.

On Monday, just one day before the Broncos traded for Russell Wilson, Miller posted several clues on Instagram and Twitter hinting that he would like to return to Denver this offseason.

Maybe Miller knew something we didn’t and was tipped off to the Wilson trade 24 hours before it happened.

Regardless, the idea of Miller returning to Denver was exciting then and it’s even more exciting now with the addition of Wilson. So that’s why when Miller posted this picture on his Instagram story on Wednesday morning, Broncos Country was fired up.

Miller wrote “SO WHAT’S NEXT?” with a picture of him and Wilson and added the song “What’s Next” by Drake. A free agent for the first time in his NFL career, Miller certainly knows how to get people talking about him.

And while Miller has taken to social media to drum up interest in a Broncos return, he told Josina Anderson something a little different in a phone conversation on Wednesday.

Von Miller to me on the phone while on vacation regarding his football future: "I want to figure it out with the Rams first & foremost because they've been real good to me. On the slim chance that can’t happen, then I’ll explore all my options."

What does it all mean? Likely that Miller is trying to leverage teams to get into a bidding war for his services next season. No one can blame him for leaving his options open, including a larger paycheck.

Still, even though money talks, so does a desire to come home. And it certainly looks like Miller has that — along with a desire to potentially team up with Wilson and win a third Super Bowl ring.
