Von Miller is currently alleged to have made terrible remarks to a former girlfriend. His future with the Broncos and NFL is in question, especially if these remarks are true. If Miller is let go then this defense will need to find a replacement. It will not be easy to replace a former Super Bowl MVP.

Miller was dominant for a long time and bringing in a player like Bud Dupree would provide a nice transition. He would ease the burden of that loss. Getting after the pass is a strong suit of his and this team still has some nice building blocks. Bradley Chubb has had injury issues in the past but when he is playing, he is fun to watch.

Pairing Dupree and Chubb would be a nice one-two punch on that defense. It is a unit that is still trying to find its dominance since the Super Bowl 50 days. It is still the strong area of the team but it will need to improve more if they want to contend anytime soon with the instability on offense. The Broncos are currently projected to have around 42 million in cap space which is good news for both fronts. They could find the money for the player, while Dupree can find a nice new home with a great franchise.
