OFFICIAL DENVER BRONCOS 2022 THREAD - Russell Wilson, MOTHAFLUCKAS!

I wouldn't worry, Mile High will still be in the name no matter who sponsors the stadium.
 
Sure, but I mean that's a butt-ton of money that's locked up in the naming rights with SA for a looooong time. I just saw that SA is trying to sell the rights themselves in their liquidation, and the Broncos are suing to prevent them from doing so. My guess is that the Broncos could probably make even more $$$ by re-selling the rights now, coming off of a Super Bowl championship and with the NFL more profitable than ever and with record-high TV ratings.
 
Very true, to be honest, I didn't realize Sports Authority had the naming rights for the longest time. I kept calling it Invesco
 
Team is going to meet Obama today

Anyone else getting worried? I don't see us winning the division without Von. Not to mention the fall out that will come years after with our front office.

I don't see how this doesn't get done.

the ramifications of it not getting done would be immense.

Elway doesn't want to go there.

It'll get done. It has to.


probably come down to the wire, though.
 
As always, what up to my NT Broncos family. I hope the deal gets done and I am cautiously optimistic.

whats good fam?!

Almost that time.

Get Von signed and lets get back to defending that championship. .

Elway has to get it done. Imagine the drama that would come with no deal.. No need to sacrifice trying to go back-to-back over a couple million dollars. I do expect it to come down to the wire, though..

Training camp in a couple weeks. think I'm gonna take the kids out to Dove Valley this year. Been a couple years since we attended.

Much better value in what we're paying him for his prospective development vs. paying Osweiler what he was looking for..

So, from that standpoint he's a sound investment at essentially the most important position on the field.

Consensus is he needs a "redshirt" year, so hopefully between Sanchez and Siemien, they can hold the fort down this year, or at least long enough to not have to throw Lynch into the fire prematurely.

We've all read the scouting reports and watched highlight video's so we know what his skillset and potential can be..

I think he has a great QB developer in Gary Kubiak, and is with a great organization, so he should hopefully be able to flourish here as much as anywhere else. If he's gonna pan out, Denver is a great place to get a shot to make it work.

I personally think with sitting out a year, learning the system, and taking the necessary steps in his development, I am confident he can be our qb for the next _____ years.

Decision day for Von Miller
Posted by Mike Florio on July 15, 2016, 8:43 AM EDT

After several days of quiet, the leaks returned with a vengeance on Thursday night. It’s now widely known that the Broncos have offered linebacker Von Miller $70 million in guaranteed money as part of the broader six-year, $114.5 million package that has been on the table for weeks.

The reports have made it clear that: (1) the Broncos aren’t moving any farther; and (2) the Broncos expect Miller to take the deal. Indeed, Mike Klis of 9news.com in Denver reports that “Miller is expected to accept” the offer before Friday’s 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.

Which raises a very important question: Expected by whom?

With a lingering sense in Miller’s camp that the Broncos have attempted to impose their will on him and other players at the bargaining table, is it the Broncos telling reporters like Klis that Miller “is expected” to take the deal, or is it Miller’s people? If it’s the latter, then there likely will be a deal. If it’s the former, well, things could get interesting on Friday.

Miller already is rankled by the manner in which the negotiations were handled in June, perceiving that the team was trying to make him look greedy to the public and, more importantly, to his teammates for not accepting a deal that had a total of $58 million guaranteed for injury, $38 million of which was fully guaranteed at signing. If Miller now perceives that the Broncos are trying to paint him into a corner by making it known that he’s “expected” to sign the enhanced offer, maybe he won’t.

The overriding question remains whether he can get the same deal or a better one in March 2017, if he sits out the full year and the Broncos lose the ability to apply the exclusive tag on him again. If Miller’s agents know, on a wink-nod, non-tampering tampering basis, that another team would gladly give up a first- and third-round pick and pay Miller the $114.5 million plus the $14.129 million he’d lose by sitting out with a better guarantee structure, maybe he passes on the offer and takes a year off.

Rarely does a player not play for a full season due to contractual issues. But this is the first potential example of that happening after everyone became more sensitive to the long-term health effects of playing football. Maybe a season away from the grind extends Miller’s career and allows him to eventually walk away from the game with fewer problems later in life.

Regardless of whether that’s true, if he thinks it’s true, he could be more likely to not take the deal.

The options are as simple as they can be. Take the deal behind Door No. 1, or sit out the year and roll open Door No. 2. If Miller believes that the Broncos are trying to coerce him into picking Door No.1, maybe he’ll show them one finger and take Door No. 2.

Jeff Legwold ESPN Staff Writer
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- After months of sometimes-cranky back-and-forth negotiations, hurt feelings and requisite rub-the-temples tension that comes with the business of contract talks, the Denver Broncos finally took a heaping helping of brussels sprouts.

In short, despite their reservations, they did what they think is good for them. They ate their football veggies. They signed linebacker Von Miller to the largest contract in NFL history for a defensive player -- six years for $114.5 million -- and kept the Super Bowl MVP locked in until 2021.

It was not the smooth ride everyone had hoped it would be. Miller, in the hours after he won the MVP award in Super Bowl 50, said he thought contract talks would be “peaceful" and he “trusted" John Elway, the Hall of Famer who is the Broncos' chief football decision-maker.

Elway consistently said Miller “knows what the Broncos think of him, what I think of him," and over and over again, called Miller a rare athlete.

And then they all started talking about money.

Both sides have wanted this deal done from the first time they exchanged ideas at the scouting combine in February. Miller wanted to stay with the Broncos and Denver wanted the hard-to-find edge player in its defense long term.

But this is why deals are earned. They’re constructed with the push and pull of wants, needs, financial ego and a dash of hubris.

And a deal of this size rarely comes after a smooth ride. But the Broncos needed it to happen because other players in their locker room were watching.

Those players have seen free agents leave to sign elsewhere who didn’t get much, or any, interest from the Broncos to stay. They also saw Peyton Manning, who could have been fitted with a gold jacket for the Hall of Fame years ago, take a pay cut.

Players have heard the Broncos want to keep “their guys" in a draft-and-build approach that, along with Manning’s signing in 2013, was the foundation of five consecutive AFC West titles and two Super Bowl trips in the past three years.

If the Broncos had drawn a definitive line in the sand and left Miller to play under the franchise tag, it would have been an issue the team would have had to wrestle with for seasons to come. Plenty of Miller’s teammates were wondering: If the Broncos didn’t pay Miller, then exactly who would they pay?

Even with the millions in Benjamins changing hands, there were plenty of bruised feelings to go around.

Miller cropped Elway out of a picture and said there was “no chance" he’d play in 2016 without a long-term deal as he got increasingly frustrated out in the open arena of social media. The Broncos tried to offer Miller something less than several of his peers, who have not been Super Bowl MVP, as a pile of harsh words were spoken.

But Elway called Miller on the Fourth of July, an olive branch of sorts on both sides of the equation. And the Broncos, knowing what kind of deal the Philadelphia Eagles had awarded Fletcher Cox, knowing the market had changed, moved some of the guaranteed money to construct the final deal.

Because no matter what was said or how many proverbial doors were slammed, the deal is done.

The Broncos, in the end, decided they want the Miller they saw in the postseason, the guy they stood by in the roller-coaster of 2013 that included his six-game suspension and an ACL tear. And Miller put his name on the dotted line because there is no better place for him than the one he has been in for the past five seasons.

In short, he is officially a franchise player. A guy who will be paid like, and asked to act like, one for the remainder of his time in a Broncos uniform.
