Giving Von 70+million guaranteed was arguably overpaying the player based on him being able to dominate bad RTs in the playoffs.
Now that front seven loses Trevathan and Malik and has to pay Von 20m a year.

Again, the guaranteed money doesn't really matter in Von's situation because he was going to get the majority of that money anyways. Denver wasn't going to cut him within the first 3 years, just like KC won't be cutting Justin Houston. Von is a cornerstone player who will most likely see every dime of that $114M.
