Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller inked a six-year, $114.5 million deal on Friday, and was pretty excited about it. And that’s understandable, given that he garnered $70 million guaranteed.
Happy to announce we’ve agreed to terms with the @Broncos to make @Millerlite40 the highest paid defensive player in the history of the NFL

Miller is an entertaining, charismatic guy. And he stayed true to his reputation after signing the deal, channeling Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire, with John Elway’s face reprising the role that Tom Cruise played.
