Or, how come he didn't disclose the "undisclosed amphetamine?" Something is definately not straight up here. He's damn lucky it's only 6 games.

This! Exactly step up and be a man Von D. It shows that he has no accountability to his team or the fans. He has not learned a thing and will likely be smoking it up on his 6 week vacation. I am sure we have not heard the last from this dirtbag.

Couldn't agree more- but it is the Donks- so they get a pass. The NFL will do everything possible to try and get Mangina another ring before he retires.

Miller’s bonus forfeiture is automatic, making the total cost of his suspension more than $2 million

The Broncos have said all the right things regarding the suspension of linebacker Von Miller, calling him a member of the “family” and vowing to support him.

That support also will include collecting from him more than $1.2 million in bonus money paid out more than two years ago.

It’s an odd quirk in the labor deal, which both the league office and the Broncos have told PFT applies in this case. For suspensions under the substance-abuse policy, the forfeiture of a prorated portion of the signing bonus becomes automatic and non-discretionary. Even if the Broncos don’t want the money, they have to take it.

Based on Appendix D to the substance-abuse policy, the six-game suspension requires Miller to repay 6/17th of the bonus allocation for 2013. At a total signing bonus of $13.773 million and an allocation per year of $3,443,250, that’s a forfeiture of $1,214,264.

It’s unclear whether the money will be withheld from future payments to Miller, or whether he’ll have to write a check for the amount. Since taxes already have been paid, his accountant will have to pursue reimbursement from the federal and state governments for payments already made.

Coupled with Miller’s lost salary of $806,161.76 (based on a full 2013 base salary of $2,284,125), his total financial losses for the six-game suspension will be $2,020,425.76.

While the Broncos should be able to choose not to seek repayment of the signing bonus, after the 2013 season they can choose to sign him to a new deal. And they can add $1.214 million to the final value of the new contract, if they want. For now, they have no choice but to collect that money from Miller.

Let me guess...they have some super awesome backup just as good.

Von is a year or two away from a 12 to 15 million dollar per year contract, I don't think giving up pot will be much of an issue.

[Chiefshrink]

My take based on what I am hearing out here.

Bottom line: The NFL front office screw up by allowing earlier info to leak out when it shouldn't have, was used by the Broncos lawyers to keep his suspension only at 6 games; otherwise he very well could have been suspended a min 8 games if not the whole season thus the prolonged delay of a decision because the Broncos were lobbying for 6 min games or they(Broncos) come out and expose the lack of competency/integrity and make a huge issue about the leak by the NFL. Result:Broncos get their 6 games and the NFL gets their 'mea culpa'.
