No way he ever lives up to that. 70 mil no matter what? I said highest paid defender would be his price but had zooms is that a ton.

That pos is not worth nowhere close to that.

lol

He made the Super Bowl his bitch. No single player in the NFL should be getting that kind of money, but he's near the top of the list of players I'd give it.

Yep

So, I'm hoping he gets this contract and then blows a knee the first snap. Sorry ,but **** the Donkeys.

I for one hope this is true. That cap number along with the guaranteed money is crippling for any team salary structure. Von painted them in a corner here. He is an outstanding player (albeit a piece of shit), and going off like he did in the Superbowl all but guaranteed a top defensive player contract in the league.

Here's hoping when he gets paid that he loses the fire/hunger and becomes Haynesworth II.

He gets this contract he will buy a huge bag of weed. It will work out.

Crazy money... so goes life in the NFL

You stay classy, pig ****er.

I will, your Mom Loves me .

Got extra for coming off a SB win just like Flacco did from the Ravens.

This x eleventy billion.

That kind of money would almost cover all of his outstanding fines and restitutions.

Apparently he's still holding out for some hush money.

Dude's twisting the screws on Elway...awesome.

Starting to sound like he wants to leave....$70 million for 11.5 sacks last year.

This really ****ed the Raiders...their days of over-paying Chiefs are over. Mack is going to crash their cap...along with Carr.

THISxEleventybillionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I agree,very few have if any. This is positive for the Chiefs IMHO because as soon as Von signs on the dotted line he will go back to his consistent disappearing act for sure and the fans will be calling for his head. Just watch.:thumb:

BTW, Mitchell Schwartz say's whaaaaaaaaa?????? Really???? I owned this guy. Bring on the Von !!!!:D

He will. Just watch.

He may not be worth the contract he will get, but Von is the most consistent pass rusher in NFL history. Saying that he has a "disappearing act" is nonsensical.

That's what happens when you gamble on a contract year and the team loses to the Super Bowl mvp

Pay up donkey trash

That's a lot of good weed.

Pay the man!

Are you including games with suspensions and injuries in your data?

(I do so enjoy mentioning his suspension.)

Another "waiting for Elway to crash"-convention.

Yeah, I get the feeling that's not happening anytime soon.

A lot of butt hurt and hopes of burning down the franchise in this thread.

This is what happens in the league now, it was the perfect storm for Miller. Elway tried to get him cheaper and it didn't work. Some of you think that's really going to impact how players view him... it's all part of the damn process.

That's a lot of scratch, you knew someone was going to get bent over before this was all said and done. If that contract goes down, it's Elway that will be grabbing his ankles.

It's simply (games with a sack)/(games played).

Of course we want the donkey franchise to burn to the ground. You are on a Chiefs' football board after all. :hmmm:

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.

It's Flacco 2.0

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.

No based on the last 3 years.........Hell I'll even say last 5 years

That's cool.

Facts are cool...........Pay note to interceptions

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.

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.

If hes worth it you mean..........

Just franchise man, remember Elway only want people who want to play there.

Man Denver's defense dominating the Super Bowl really played right into the Chief's hands

I hope this deal gets done. I also hope he pops his Achilles on the first play of game one every year for the next 5 years.

And he wants to be there and get paid, it's the way it goes.

He is going to **** your cap man......... How many players are you willing to let go?

:)

How is that exactly?

It's a big cap number, no doubt. Teams that win and have a lot of good players are going to lose them, esp in a year after a SB with lots of guys taking advantage of it.

Would I rather have the guys we lost on defense without Miller or Miller with other guys... hell, I won't complain about the path we're on. It's not like I'm expecting a repeat...

He can buy a lot of chickens and a lot of weed with that kind of $. Dude got paid.

Is he?
I was looking at OverTheCap, and that doesn't appear to be the case

Have there been any suggestions as to what the YOY cap impact would be with this deal? I haven't seen one.

Because everyone knows you can't win while paying an individual $20M+ a year

That is why Manning's contract was such an anchor for them

Good point, if only they could have won more.

KC has two guys at $19M and $17M ... thankfully, the team didn't cross that magical threshold.

Not finalized yet? Uh oh...

Elway is still trying to figure out that damn fax machine.

Lol at the bravado of a gifted superbowl thanks to the league marketing tool. Mule and Hef probably wear John Cena jerseys and strut around in those.

Put it on a tee;:)

I hate Von Miller, for unrelated reasons. In my Madden franchise, at the age of 34, I brought him to KC as a FA on an expensive 2 year, $23 million deal. Most of it was guaranteed money.

He got 14 sacks and helped me field the deadliest pass rush in the league, then promptly retired.

After one year in retirement he shows back up in FA and signs with someone else.

GIMME BACK MY $10 MILLION.

yep, whether they are cheating or not the broncos are talented at maneuvering the cap.

maybe they are better because they cheat
maybe they are better because their owner is more willing to spend

they are still better than we are at it

They are better at 'moving and shaking' than we are too.

We are slow,methodical ... Dorsey has the better eye for talent

Denver has the better DC
we have a better OC

It will be interesting to see how Denver's QB situation works out. Sadly i imagine they will find some way to make it work. Just like we've spent every year under Reid/Dorsey trying to build an elite defense. Denver spent 19 million per year on Manning and still built a top 5 defense in half the time.

It's time for our coaching staff to make it happen, no more excuses.

Time for Reid to manage the clock and the playcalling
Time for sutton to finally rotate the DL and keep Hali/Houston healthy for the end of season.

Ha... ok.

Have some fun with this one. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/16...vision-winners

Of the AFCW beat writers, only the guy from San Diego chose a team not from Denver to win the division, and he picked KC. In the results, KC finishes in 3rd behind Denver and then Oakland.

Lots of doubts in Denver for sure, but doesn't look like too many believers with KC yet. That should change though, I think KC will finish first or second in the division this year.

I think we'll have one of the tightest division races in a long time...

ROFL a bunch of tripe? You aren't winning 11 by less than 7 again. Once that flips expect a basement finish for a less talented team.

Especially the "weird" ways they won them. In any given week a play here / there can influence the outcome of a game. It usually evens out over the course of the season. That never happened for Denver last season. They were on the plus side of weird game altering plays / circumstances way too often for it to have been simply coincidence IMO.

KC isn't doing anything without a healthy Houston.

I think it's free with EA Access now.

What do you play on?

Vons too busy posing nude and probably gets hurt this year 3 to 4 win team without him in pile high.

ps4

just moved the Chiefs to London :evil:

Weird like Reid deciding not to play for OT and Charles fumbling (again) weird...

2 bogus PIs to extend the tying drive sure is though

5-11

I don't recall the plays to say whether it's sour grapes or legit. I do know that per this site, Denver gets away with 3-4 of those a game.

Denver Post is calling it a done deal.

Yep, now just waiting to see how the numbers look annually.

Over/under on the times Denver goes to Miller asking him to restructure in the next 6 years?

I'll say 3...

"Miller gets a $23 million signing bonus and $42 million guaranteed at signing, $61 million guaranteed after the first year and $70 million guaranteed after the second year of the deal, the sources said."

Still curious to see how this plays out against the cap ... 60 sacks in 5 years and a SB MVP, that carries a nice reward to it. Time to move on now that this is done.

Found this on SI -
The rough breakdown of Miller’s contract, according to sources:

2016: $23 million signing bonus, $2 million in salary and workout bonus, other bonuses. Total $25 million (fully guaranteed). The year one payout was the only metric he did not surpass Philadelphia defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, who got $27.3 million upfront with his recent contract extension
2017: $17 million in salary, bonuses (fully guaranteed). Total is $42 million after two years. Cox got $36.3 million guaranteed after year two
2018: $19 million in salary, bonuses. (Injury-only guarantee, converts to full guarantee in eight months, or March 17). Total is $61 million after three years. Cox got $55.55 million guaranteed after year three
2019: $17.5 million in salary, bonuses. (Injury-only guarantee but $9 million converts to full guarantee a year earlier, or in March, 2018). Total is $78.5 million after four years with $70 million guaranteed. Cox got $63.3 million guaranteed after year four
2020: $17.5 million in salary. $500,000 work out bonus (no guarantees). Total is $96.5 million after five years
2021: $17.5 million in salary. $500,000 work out bonus (no guarantees). Total is $114.5 million after six years
