The blockbuster deal includes a $23 million signing bonus and will pay Miller $61 million over the first eight months. Miller and agent Joby Branion parlayed patience into a record-breaking deal in terms of overall value and guarantees. ENGLEWOOD, Colorado (AP) " Von Miller has signed a blockbuster $114.5 million contract with the Denver Broncos that includes $70 million in guarantees and makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Last month, Miller's camp rejected the $38.5 million the Broncos offered in guarantees, and Miller threatened to sit out the season barring a long-term deal. The Broncos are happy to have Von back and Von's happy to be back."
