Von Miller... Well the guy wants a new contract and the truth is after what he did in the super bowl he deserves a fine pay day but I would rather he get a bonus for what he did in the super bowl... Elway dragging his feet to award him that money?? Why?? Here's the only reason I can see.. Miller wants to be a Bronco for "life" meaning he wants to retire in Denver.. That's fine and all but here is the thing, he will have a few more years being at the top of his game.. Elway is just trying to cover his decision, he can give Miller the big pay day but here is the thing.. Miller could get hurt and then you are paying him to ride the bench.. That is the way with all the players, football is a rough sport.. and miller will if he gets resigned be the spotlight player.. But there are a few ways to look at things.. On Facebook I said I don't think Von plays another down for the Broncos ever again, why??? Because you can't bet against injury, they happen and he will likely be hurt this season, law of averages.. Depending on how bad it is he could be out the entire season from when he gets hurt.. Minor injuries are a rarity in pro football.. Von wants that pay day, Denver wants to pay him but guarantee the money after the fact, which can't be done, too bad it can't be, a lot more teams would take a bigger leap of faith giving contracts to players knowing that a certain criteria be met for the player to get the entire money he signed for.. But that's the chance you take when you sign that super star player.. I said I heard that there could be a trade to Cleveland.. He could make his money there, but he likely will never play in the super bowl again, nor even get there again.. If he wants his money and that is that important then go where the money is.. Denver wants to build a team, and to me that makes more sense, so for Von, do you stay the course and demand that "I am a super star" money or do you take a little less and make it to where Denver can build a team this year, and next and next.. Be a roll model and tell them I know I could make more money which I deserve elsewhere, or take a little less and make the TEAM more important.. If he makes the biggest pay check he can it could cost the Broncos in the future building a team.. They begged Manning last year to restructure his deal which he did... A little.. Does Von want to hold the team hostage financially in the latter years of his mega contract?? Watch what you ask for.. Fans can change and turn on you and it can happen quite fast.. Be the mega million dollar mistake after proving you deserve it, get injured and booed... Can happen, and likely will.. Take a pay cut, put on your big boy jeans and take one for the TEAM...
