The pass-rusher has been open about his desire for Denver to sign the impending free-agent quarterback and bolstered his pitch by suggesting the Broncos would make a quick return to their championship-contending days under Peyton Manning if they beat out the other reported three suitors for Cousins.

"He's just that type of player," Miller told ESPN's 'First Take.' "He not only would be a difference-maker to my team, but any team he goes to in the National Football League. It's an instant upgrade, leadership, he can throw and make all the passes on the field. So, yeah, when you get a guy like that, you're automatically in Super Bowl contention."

Denver is reportedly "all-in" on securing Cousins after missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons with the likes of Trevor Siemian, first-round disappointment Paxton Lynch, and Brock Osweiler under center.
