Football Von Miller closing in a deal reportedly worth 6yr/114m w 70+g - Page 3

#Broncos & Von Miller spent the last week making significant progress on the 6-year, $114M offer. I’m told the guarantees now eclipse $70M.

you guys can knock this all you want, but the guy is a game changer. he dominated on the biggest stage, and he got paid.

now if he happens to get himself busted again, i'm gonna lmao but if ever a guy deserved to get paid, this is it

Nobody really beleives that he didn't earn it or doesn't deserve it, but the Broncos are in a little bit of a rebuild/retooling and handing out that contract is going to really put the pressure on Elway to get it done through the draft.

True - but they did just fine when handing out that kind of jack to Manning, which was supposed to put them in "cap hell." They'll find a way.

And, that's fine... they need to do better with the draft. If Lynch turns out to be the QBotF, then the Miller money isn't going to cramp them in regards to what they're paying the QB for the next several years as his cap number in 2019 (final of rookie contract) is just over $3M.

They're making bets, which all teams do. If they had signed Brock to the deal he wanted, then it's a totally different situation at this point.

We'll see how this mega contract impacts their cap number very soon. The salary cap has risen $10-12M each year, so who knows what it continues to do over the next 3 years.

It's all about placing bets.

And, Flacco has been fine - he got hurt last year, but he's played to that contract and is worth the money. This year his cap number begins a 6 year run of > $22M of cap money, so they'll see how that works out.

That's debatable

Everything is... I think he's worth $4-5M more than Alex Smith. This is the price you pay for your franchise QB.

It's gonna be a mega deal but now is the time to do it. The Broncos don't have to pay for Manning and Lynch is a few years away from a mega deal. Vons willingness to sit out is what gives him leverage. After this contact is paid out Miller will be in his 30s and his best years will be behind him.

ClevelandBronco · 07-15-2016, 08:23 AM

Too pricey, IMHO, but what the hell. It ain't my money. I won't bitch if the Broncos want to buy him to entertain me.

I also won't be disappointed if Miller turns them down.
