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

[Mr. Laz]

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

Denver Post is calling it a done deal.

Von Miller will be remembered forever in Denver with his Super Bowl 50 performance. He took a huge step toward never leaving, agreeing to a landmark six-year, $114.5 million contract with $70 million guaranteed, according to a league source, making him the highest-paid nonquarterback in NFL history.

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?

"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

Call it a premature assessment, but I don't see him playing six years under that contract. One of the parties will likely be dissatisfied going into year five at the latest.

do you really think there is an appreciable difference in the IQ of Justin Houston and Von Miller?

Kinda - Als week 1 against Ravens, then at Cleveland, at Chicago etc. Too long of a list. My absolute favorite was the MNF against the Patriots. No defending that "win." The whole nation saw it. That was THE ONE that made everything possible. It was given to you. You're welcome.

What are you talking about?

We didn't play the Patriots on MNF, and there were no drive-extending penalties against the Patriots. The only 3rd down penalty against NE's defense was a facemask, and that came after CJ Anderson had already gained enough for a 1st.

If you got a contract with that kinda money including for openers a 23 million dollar payment and you really liked grass, what would you do to celebrate when that 23 mil hit your bank account ?

Looks like just a tiny opening there after the 2nd year if they wanted to cut and run after the 2017 season but before .

If they cut him after year two (presuming he's healthy, just less productive), they'd have $14.1 million in bonus accelerate onto their cap. They could June 1 designate him, eat $4.1 million that year and have to absorb $9.4 million the following year.

Unless I'm reading that wrong and the fully guarantee for year 3 comes after year 1, in which case, they're effectively locked into year 3 as well (because it would be cost prohibitive to cut him after year 1 and accelerate $19 million worth of bonus onto the cap).

If that's the case, sure looks like a 4 yr, $78 million deal to me.
