Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller

Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller

Per Lindsay Jones at the Denver Post linebacker Von Miller has reached a contract agreement with the team this afternoon.  He is currently leaving his hotel and driving to Dove Valley to sign off on the deal.  The contract is worth $21 million over 4 years which is guaranteed.  This is similar to the Bengal’s A.J. Green who has a contract which is completely guaranteed.  Due to the inner workings of the rookie pay scale for the new CBA this will most likely become the norm for 1st round selections.  We can expect to see the Texas A&M phenom in camp tomorrow morning.

Miller (6′3″, 246 lbs.) is a 22-year-old pass rush specialist who was the unanimous top linebacker prospect in the draft. Tallying over 100 tackles and 28 sacks in his junior and senior seasons, Miller continued to shoot up draft boards where Denver selected him 2nd overall.

    Nice, so now we have our 1st rounder Von Miller signed and Elvis Dumervil (sack leader last year he played) with the Broncos in 2011!  This has to help our Defense out now!  Man, I remember the days of the Orange Crush like it was yesterday!  Would love if we could get back to those days!  I say, let's do it now!  Lol.

    Without DT's or an inside push, they'll have no reason to pass. Hard to get sacks when the qb is handing off.

    So true.
