Broncos franchise player Von Miller is seeking a $22 million annual salary, according to Bleacher Report's Jason Cole.
As enormous as that figure may sound, Cole spoke to two GMs who believe Miller could easily net $24-25 million a year on the open market. The Giants just signed Olivier Vernon for $17 million a year and his talent doesn't come close to Miller's. At this point it's a near certainty that Miller will become the highest-paid defensive player of all-time. Miller will play under the $14.1 million franchise tag unless the two sides agree to an extension before the July 15 deadline.
