Although this might hurt the team salary cap wise in the short run, winning Superbowl 50 thanks to Von Miller exceptional performance has no price tag on it.
Can't really blame Von or his agent...timing is everything and he's the reigning suberbowl MVP...I would have squeezed Denver with the same kind of "I'm the suberbowl MVP, f*ck you, pay me" attitude....why not? There is not doubt he had a good season last year but I wonder how negotiations would have went down if they got beat up a little bit and knocked out in there first playoff game? instead of going on to the superbowl and becoming MVP, he prob would have got 20 mil less guaranteed, again timing is everything
