If guaranteed money is what Von Miller wants, then guaranteed money is what John Elway appears to be offering him.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Broncos’ offer to Miller has gone up significantly, with over $70 million now guaranteed.
#Broncos & Von Miller spent the last week making significant progress on the 6-year, $114M offer. I’m told the guarantees now eclipse $70M.

On NFL Network, Rapoport added to his original report, saying a deal could be coming quickly.
“There is now a better chance this deal gets done than it doesn’t get done.” Rapoport said, via NFL.com. “As things have gone quiet in the Von Miller negotiation, optimism has grown for all involved. It’s headed in the right direction quickly.”
If true, this would give Miller the second-most guaranteed money in NFL history, only trailing Andrew Luck’s $87 million in guarantees.
That’s the type of money that can mend most any relationship.
