According to reports on Wednesday, Miller and the Broncos have had talks break down despite Denver offering their prized pass rusher $114.5 million over six seasons.

With a July 15 deadline for franchise players to sign long-term deals, there are major questions and concerns that the two sides will be able to get a deal done before then, sources said.
Demaryius Thomas, a former standout wide receiver from Georgia Tech who recently won Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos, thanked President Barack Obama on Monday for pardoning his mother.
Absent an agreement, the Broncos said they would withdraw their multiyear contract proposal, leaving Miller to play the 2016 season on his $14.129 million “exclusive” franchise tag.
“We’ve made real progress over the last couple of days”, Miller told reporters Monday in Washington.
In five seasons, Miller has been named to four Pro Bowls and earned two first-team All-Pro nods (2012 and 2015).
While Elway is certainly pragmatic in his negotiating tactics, Miller is worth every penny of being the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. Both sides have expressed optimism that Von Miller’s mega-contract could get done soon, but they’re still a ways apart on terms with the July 15 deadline looming. WFAA-TV in Dallas said that according to police, the bullet entered Talib’s right thigh and exited his right calf.
One day, Denver Broncos superstar and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller will be a very rich man-even richer than he already is-today is not that day. Such a trajectory suggests he could have shot himself.
Talib’s shooting was the latest incident in a drama-filled offseason for the Broncos.
The Broncos believe he’ll make a full recovery, but Talib, who’s had firearm incidents in his past, could be facing legal consequences and possible punishment from the National Football League, which is looking into the matter. “But I’ve got to admit this one was pretty good, too”, Obama said.
“I waved my hand as soon as he said it”, Trevathan said. Really at this point, there’s no medical research that will permit him to play.

“We were all obviously a little disappointed to see him hang it up this spring”.
