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.

I agree with all of that. I'm not making fun of the contract, though I agree with the assessment their was no way for the Broncos to truly "win" in this situation. You have to pay the man though. That's clearly the lesser of too evils.
