Von Miller Fantasy

The Denver Broncos will exercise the $7 million guarantee option on linebacker Von Miller's $18 million salary for the 2021 season, according to a source. Miller will remain with the Broncos for at least one more season despite the fact that talks to restructure his deal to help lower the team's salary cap went nowhere. In his time with Denver, Miller has played in 135 games, recorded 106 sacks, been named to eight Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl MVP award. The soon-to-be 32-year-old has the highest salary cap charge on the team at $22.2 million this year. The team's longest-tenured player also is no longer facing criminal charges in Colorado. Miller's 106 career sacks lead all active players, and he is fully recovered from an ankle injury that kept him out for all of the 2020 season. A healthy Miller will go a long way towards making the Broncos Defense a potential fantasy sleeper in 2021.

Denver Broncos general manager George Paton said on Thursday that the team wants to bring linebacker Von Miller back. Miller has a contract option guaranteeing $7 million of his $18 million salary for 2021, and the Broncos have until March 16 to exercise it. Denver could work out an extension or a new contract that lowers Miller's rate this season in order to keep him in town. The former Super Bowl MVP missed all of the 2020 season with an ankle injury, but he had played in at least 15 games in each of the previous six seasons, earning a Pro Bowl selection each year. The 31-year-old is also dealing with a legal matter, but the Broncos are letting the legal process play out and won't comment on the situation. A healthy Miller in 2021 would be huge for Denver's pass rush as they look to get back to the postseason.

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is the subject of a police investigation in Parker, Colorado, although police haven't specified why they are investigating the former Super Bowl MVP. Miller missed the entire 2020 season after suffering a season-ending ankle injury in practice just days before the season opener. The 31-year-old was suspended for six games in 2013 for violating the league's substance-abuse policy and also had an arrest warrant issued that same summer after a failure to appear in court after multiple traffic violations. The Broncos face a decision on the pass-rusher, as he is heading into the final year of his six-year, $114.5 million deal he signed in 2016. If they release Miller, the team would face a dead-money charge of $4.125 million against the salary cap for 2021.
