The Denver Broncos passed up a chance to reunite with Von Miller this offseason, despite the legendary pass rusher expressing his interest in doing so, only to watch him later sign a deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
We suggested that the team could end up regretting that move and now that Jonathon Cooper has officially been placed on the commissioner's exempt list to begin the season, that is closer to being a reality. For many fans of the team, that regret has already set in.
Kept 2 below average backups behind Bo

It was stupid for them to not sign Von Miller

Wow. Good for Von Miller. But still think the Broncos should’ve signed him — especially with a Jonathon Cooper suspension looming. https://t.co/qcZ65Uop5u

I’m just gonna say as a fan that I’m disappointed the Broncos didn’t bring back Von Miller for a victory lap this season. Core memories and a core player for this franchise. @VonMiller

Everyone's saying we should've signed Von Miller. Seriously, stop. It's weird given his off-field stuff, and the Broncos have moved on. You should too. https://t.co/AbwBDsVwl4

The Broncos do still have strong depth at the position with Nik Bonitto, Jonah Elliss, Que Robinson and Dondrea Tillman available at outside linebacker, but a lot of fans would have liked to have seen Miller finish his career in Denver. Instead, the 37-year-old pass rusher will play in Dallas, and the Broncos will wait to find out how long Cooper will be sidelined.
