In the AFC: Von Miller Gets PAID

Defense Linebacker and Super Bowl XXXIII MVP, Von Miller, finally brings in the cash.  According to espn.com, after 5 months of negotiation, the two sides have come to terms.  Miller has just signed a much deserved 6 year, 114.5 million dollar deal with the Denver Broncos.  This includes a 23 million dollar signing bonus, 61 million guaranteed after year one, and 70 million guaranteed after year two.  This gives Miller the highest guaranteed total amongst defensive players.

The Broncos applied their elusive franchise tag to Miller and had to come to long term deal by today's deadline.  Miller got what he deserved, especially since they have not acquired a name worthy QB after letting Brock Osweiler slip out of their hands.

There were talks of tension, during contract negotiation,  between Miller and Broncos' VP, John Elway; both side deny this.  Let's just say we are happy they have come to terms.

Von Miller was drafted 2nd overall by the Denver Broncos in 2011.  He has since recorded 60 sacks and was Cam Newton's worst nightmare the Broncos win over the highly favorited Carolina Panthers in last season's Super Bowl.
