Aside from a July 4th phone call from John Elway, Von Miller and his representatives have remained radio silent with the Denver Broncos.
According to Ed Werder of ESPN, though, that will change today.
With one week before franchise deadline for multi-year deals, #Broncos scheduled to talk today to @Millerlite40 and reps today, per source

9News’ Mike Klis is also reporting that the Broncos have given Miller’s agent, Joby Branion, a new contract proposal which includes “a move” in the guaranteed money.
Werder went on to back up that report.
#Broncos improved offer to @Millerlite40 Willing to guarantee 3rd year of deal earlier than previous proposals. Most big deals have that

Since the two sides agreed on the framework for a six-year, $114.5 million deal back on June 7, reports are that the only thing holding off a signature was the guaranteed money. We’ll see if the Broncos “move” will be enough to push Miller over the edge.
