DJs Nut summed it up well when he said (paraphrasing, apologies to DJ ) that miller's contract is a combination of market value and reward for the SB win that wouldn't have happened without him.
I would add the need to maintain cohesiveness in tightly knit D unit was a legit factor. Also fan base considerations and reputation in the eyes of futute FAs.
Too, the deal is structured so von counts around 1 million $ toward the 2016 cap, freeing up space to resign sanders.
It's a lot of $. We'll see how it all works out.
