How can it be overpaying if that's what he's worth? Brock Osweiller and Sam Bradford are overpaid, Von Miller earned his contract and he is just about to hit his prime.

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.

He only had 11 sacks before his run on bad RTs in the playoffs.
His effect goes beyond that, but he wasnt terribly productive in the regular season. |

Agreed. Elway did what he had to, salvaged what he could. I hope they can manage the cap hits. In the end if we suffer for it for a season or so it will have been worth it to me to have seen him knock newton's dick in the dirt and win a ring.

Yea, looking back on his career people will not look at 2015 as a "prime" year for Miller because he was 26, not 27. |

Von Miller hasn't been top 5 in sacks since 2012.

Are you saying he's not an elite edge rusher that showed up huge on the big stage?
