Von Miller and the Denver Broncos are in the middle of contentious contract negotiations, but despite claims to the contrary there is absolutely zero chance Miller will sit out the 2016 season. The Broncos waited until the mid-July deadline to reach long-term contract extensions with both Demaryius Thomas and Ryan Clady over the last few years, and they are probably in that mode with Miller.

According to NFL.com, Miller turned down a reported $114.5 million contract over six years, but with only $39.8 million guaranteed.
Rumors around the Denver Broncos organization have centered on the defending Super Bowl champions shifting their focus to signing other players now that Von Miller has rejected a contract offer worth more than $114.5 million.
Miller has repeatedly said he wants to be a Bronco for life, but the sides arent talking after Millers camp declined to accept Denvers offer by Tuesday nights deadline set by the team.
The Denver Broncos best player remains absent from the team and after a seemingly happy, but brief, reunion Monday at the White House, the star is growing tired of his contract situation and both sides are nearing a precarious deadline.
Von Miller intentionally cropped out John Elway from a picture after the Denver Broncos were honored at the White House. Specific reasons behind Miller’s intentional cutting out of Elway from the group photo have not yet been confirmed.

The 27-year-old Miller finished the 2015 regular season with 11 sacks and helped led the Broncos to the Super Bowl 50 championship by wreaking havoc on defense.
Miller has been spectacular in his five-year career and possibly not any better than in his last two games in a Broncos jersey.
And, given the fact that Miller is Super Bowl 50’s MVP, there are certainly a lot of teams that are willing to pay for him. He’s been exactly what we expected to this point.
Smith passed out keys so all of the players and coaches could unlock the pad-locked boxes when the time arrive and Davis spoke to the gathering.
First, Osweiler was a no-show during the Broncos’ trip to the White House on Monday.
“I still have a long way to go”, Osweiler said about his knowledge of O’Brien’s system.
In 2016, apparently you voice your disgust over contract negotiations by cropping your boss out of a photo and posting it to Instagram. Having come back from injuries in his first two years, the second round TE was hoping that this season was the one to turn his career around.

“We have mutually agreed to part ways”, CBS Sports told Sports Illustrated.
