What happened: Von Miller has made offers to fullback Hunter Luepke in an attempt to acquire the No. 40 jersey. The veteran edge rusher noted he will not wear No. 58, his traditional Denver number, or No. 94 out of respect for DeMarcus Ware. Miller reportedly offered a lifetime supply of chicken from his personal farm as compensation.

Why it matters: The jersey negotiations highlight the veteran's integration into his new locker room ahead of the 2026 preseason. Miller indicated he would be content if a deal works out, though securing the specific number is not a primary concern.

What to watch: Miller's official jersey assignment will be confirmed as preseason camp continues.
