Miller is now the highest paid non-quarterback in National Football League history, and people all around the league took notice.

Von gets his money & Elway loses another battle this off season. Still gets his guy but maybe, just maybe he'll quit low balling key pieces?

Really happy for Von. Lived up to the hype, then let us all down only to redeem himself with great behavior & play when the spotlight was on

Von Miller is Elways best player. He was his 1st draft pick & helped lead them to a ring #neveradoubt
