Miller reportedly rejects Broncos’ $114.5 million offer

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Super Bowl MVP Von Miller’s camp has rejected a contract proposal that would have made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of negotiations, said Miller’s representatives rejected a six-year, $114.5 million offer that included $39.8 million in guarantees in the first two years.

Joby Branion, who represents Miller, didn’t immediately return a message left by the AP seeking comment on the rejected offer, which was first reported by ESPN.

Broncos general manager John Elway imposed a Tuesday night cutoff for negotiations because he wanted Miller to attend this week’s mandatory minicamp and not miss the entire offseason program.
