Keeler: Broncos, Von Miller reunited? Heck, yeah. But only if price is right. Talk is cheap. Pass-rushers aren’t.

Stop it! Stop it, Von Miller. You’re making us cry.

“I always wanted to be a Denver Bronco forever,” the Vonster told reporters Monday afternoon as Super Bowl Week ramps up for his Los Angeles Rams in SoCal.

“I’ll always be a Denver Bronco forever. I’m just in L.A. working.”

Ohhhh, man …

“If it was up to me, I’d still be in Denver, trying to figure it out,” Miller continued.

Ohhhh, mannnnnn …

“It will always be love (for Denver),” Miller chimed. “I will always have Orange and Blue in my blood. I will always be a Coloradoan … I will always be a Denver Bronco.”

Hey, I’m not crying. You’re crying.

Isn’t Broncos Country overdue for a happy ending?

In a fit of inspiration, new Denver general manager George Paton trades the Vonster, a franchise icon, for a second-round and third-round pick in the ’22 draft. Then Paton flips those draft picks into a trade for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Then he turns around and re-signs Miller, an unrestricted free agent, for one more glorious ride. The rest of the AFC West freaks out. Fade to black.

Alas, the reality is more … well … complicated. This whole reunion idea, ultimately, is up to Miller. Because while talk is cheap, premium pass-rushers are anything but.

Miller would be worth an average of $10.6 million annually on the open market, according to Spotrac.com. The site also estimates that the Broncos opened the week with $40.389 million cap space, sixth-most in the NFL. So, yes, in the short term, there’s room for a star pass-rusher in addition to a front-line, AFC West-worthy quarterback.

And you absolutely, unequivocally, cannot stress this enough, a great team must have the latter. The Broncos spent the past five years insanely trying to prove that you could win the AFC West with Von Miller at the heart of the defense and Joe Schmo at quarterback. That you could win a pie fight with a cupcake.  Spoiler alert: You can’t. YOU. CANNOT.

Which complicates things, potentially, if the Vonster wants to break the bank. J.J. Watt, who, like Miller, turns 33 in March, got $14 million per year from Arizona. Jason Pierre-Paul, who just turned 33, nabbed $12.5 million annually from Tampa Bay.

Miller said he wants to play long enough for his son, Valor, who was born last August, to watch him — and remember him — as an active player. So that’s probably, health permitting, at least four more seasons. Which takes you into the fall of 2025, when Valor would be 4 and Von would be 37.

And there’s the other iffy part. Of the league’s all-time top nine career sack leaders, a club which includes former Bronco DeMarcus Ware (138.5), only three averaged 10 or more takedowns in their career after the age of 31: Kevin Greene (12.5), Reggie White (11.1) and Chris Doleman (10.5). Ware retired in the spring of 2017, a few months before his 35th birthday.

We already know the Vonster is a freak of nature. But he’d have to become a freak of history, too. Either that, or take a serious hometown discount.

Your serve, 58.

Sorry 40.

That last part still takes some getting used to.

Because everybody’s missed him around here — his old defensive mates, especially. In eight games with the Vonster last fall, the Broncos averaged 2.5 sacks per game, allowed 17.1 points per game, and went 4-4.

The last nine games, after the Nov. 1 Miller trade: 1.8 sacks per game, 20.6 points allowed, a 3-6 record, and bye-bye, Uncle Vic Fangio.

Granted, the schedule was front-loaded with garbage teams (Giants, Jags, Jets) and backloaded with playoff (Bengals) and divisional ones (Chiefs twice, Chargers twice, Raiders on the road).
