Did Von Miller know something the entire NFL world didn't know on Tuesday? Maybe except for the Denver Broncos, of course.
Miller, a free agent, gave hints on Instagram on Monday that he'd return with the Broncos after his short stint with the Los Angeles Rams last season. Then just several hours later—BADA BING, BADA BOOM!—the Broncos acquired Russell Wilson in a massive trade with the Seattle Seahawks.
Miller's apparent clairvoyance (or was it shrewdness?) wasn't lost on NFL fans, who took to Twitter to sound off on the talented linebacker, who played the first nine and a half years of his career with the Broncos.
Von Miller had to suspect something yesterday and I am not joking either.
I’m fully convinced that man is coming home.

The question is — who told Von Miller yesterday?!

Von Miller joining the Denver Broncos makes a whole lot of sense now

So when will the “Von Miller returns to Denver” headlines break?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Von Miller knew something when he hit IG with this video Monday.
Russell Wilson as a Bronco definitely brings a Miller homecoming into play, folks.

With the Seahawks also surprisingly releasing Bobby Wagner on Tuesday, the Broncos could also make a play for the veteran linebacker. Of course, the fans couldn't help but salivate over the idea that Miller and Wagner might team up in Mile High City next season.
Bring in Von Miller and Bobby Wagner Mr. Paton!!

Man just imagine if the #Broncos bring home Von Miller back home and possibly signs Bobby Wagner that would be crazy!!!

Getting Miller and Wagner would be huge for the Broncos, adding them to their linebacker unit with Bradley Chubb and Baron Browning. Plus, with Wilson now under center, the team would be an instant contender.
In the meantime, it seems like the 32-year-old Miller is biding his time. After all, he's one of the hottest commodities in the free agent market, especially after helping the Rams win the Super Bowl title.
But if we're a betting man, Miller will be back in a Broncos uniform.
