Von Miller not interested in “divorcing” himself from Broncos despite another losing season (Ryan O'Halloran, The Denver Post)

If the Broncos are to break their four-year playoff drought in 2020, all-pro linebacker Von Miller wants to be a part of it.

"I'm tied to the Denver Broncos," he said Thursday. "It's pro sports and we all know things can change, but for me and my mindset, it's a marriage I'm not looking forward to divorcing anytime soon."

His passion for football has never left. But for the first time, Von is noticing his age. He woke up this season and realized organically that he is no longer the kid in the room. He's a man. He's 30. And he's talking to younger players like DeMarcus Ware, Champ Bailey and others once spoke to him.

"I get all speechy all the time now. I have all type of sayings and all type of speeches for all the guys now," Miller said, noting he understands the nuance of leadership more now.
