That's just stupid. I hope they do it.

 

[VectorPrime]

LT in his prime wouldnt be worth that much locked in money.

 

[The Boston Patriot]

This won't come back to haunt the Broncos, nope.

 

[Gronkowski123]

good for von.

 

[Wheelman]

Freaking donkeys cheaping out. They should offer him 100 million guaranteed. Von Miller single handedly brought them the superbowl. Von deserves 25 million a year with at least a 100 million guaranteed. Don't settle for anything else Von! You deserve the money. And the freaking donkeys should pay up!

I hope Von reads and buys into your post.

I don't see where it is that crazy ...
the man impacts the game at a high level and they need to win with defense in the next few years.

 

[supafly]

If he seriously passes up 70m in guaranteed money he's one hard core gambler with a ton of self confidence.

Yeah, good point, he's trying to take advantage of the situation, and that defense will be expected to carry the offense now without a viable option at QB. His value is at its highest right now.

 

[PatsDoc]

Ugh. This is not good for anybody. Will definitely influence negotiations with Hightower and Collins. Oh well...at least it screws them over

 

[slash83]

Different positions from both HT and JC. I don't think they will have much influence but I don't know much.

[DarrylS]

Von Miller's guarantee would not fit the Patriots economic system..

Wonder what the numbers will look like for salary cap ramifications..

 

[Froob]

Does it include a yearly subscription to Dr. Guyser's weekly mystery gift?

Miller is an edge rusher. Collins and Hightower are linebackers. Has no effect on them at all.

Collins and hightower's agents disagree haha.

Eh up until this year he really didn't show up in big spots, especially the playoffs. Most notable thing he did in the playoffs before this year was start a fight after Brady's punt.

 

[goheels22002]

I wonder how this is structured. If spread out over the full six years, the Broncos will be on the hook for more than $11 million when Miller turns 33.

Miller has a history with a substance abuse suspension and lost time with an ACL. Why do I think this is not going to end well for the Broncos?

 

[PatsBoy12]

Wow, he's good and everything, and I know his position is very important, but I don't know if any non-QB is worth that damn much guaranteed. Seriously, and I'm not hating, but how do the Broncos have all this money?

They wouldn't have that much money if there was a starting caliber QB on the roster.
