Miller wasn’t in the mood for any while at his football camp for kids on Wednesday, however.

He’s said he will not play for the Denver Broncos under the one-year franchise tag.
Elway is turning his attention toward negotiations with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and inside linebacker Brandon Marshall.
Denver linebacker Von Miller insists he won’t play the upcoming National Football League season if the Broncos fail to come to the party on a new contract. This does not sit well with Miller, who has had a much better career (60 sacks in five years to 22 in four for Cox) to date than Cox has.
Miller predicted peaceful negotiations while his agent sought a contract topping Ndamukong Suh’s six-year, $114.375 million deal with the Dolphins in 2015 that includes $50 million in guarantees over the first two years.
This means that the Broncos could be in danger of losing Miller for the entire 2016 season, especially if a deal isn’t signed in the next three weeks. And of course, the contract that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Fletcher Cox just signed factors in.
The Broncos offered Miller a six-year, $US114.5 million ($A155 million) deal, but it was turned down because Miller and his representatives weren’t happy with the amount of guaranteed money in the offer.
The Broncos are up for the best team along with the Cavaliers, Penguins, Kansas City Royals and three college champions.
