rest - http://espn.go.com/blog/denver-bronc...-on-both-sidesENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- There is plenty to gain for both the Denver Broncos and Von Miller if the team opens its checkbook wide enough to entice Miller to sign a long-term deal.
The Broncos would get their Super Bowl MVP -- a premier, dynamic edge-rusher who is a cornerstone player in the team’s defense, the guy John Elway made the team’s first draft pick after he took his current job in 2011. Miller would get a substantial pile of life-changing cash as one of the league’s highest-paid players, or perhaps even the title of league's highest-paid defensive player, with the long-term security the contract would bring to go with the message that he is important to where the Broncos are going and what the team just did.
As the Broncos and Miller face a deadline that is essentially two weeks away -- July 15 -- money is, and always will be, the overriding issue. But there is a lot more along for the ride as well.
