You essentially just retained what you already had...by breaking even it will cost you players in the future. Miller's payout already cost Brock this year...and forced Sanchez on you while having to blow a 1st round pick in the process. Congrats. This gratuitous contract is and will continue to keep doing KC favors....the real price is Brock, Sanders, a 1st round pick and having to watch Sanchez lead you to a 3rd place finish.

Hilarious, but no way Elway was that happy. |

I should have just said "Elway is a terrible human being"....that way the nuances dont get you confused. I have to remember which fan base I'm talking to... Denver is going to tank this season.... Last edited by BlackOp; 07-16-2016 at 08:46 PM.. |

Von would've gotten MUCH more on the open market. If you asked anyone back in March what Von was worth they'd tell you anywhere from 18 to 22 million per year, Elway got him for $19.08M per year. The guaranteed money doesn't matter because we weren't going to cut him within the first 3 years anyways.
Elway didn't get Von to take a discount but he didn't overpay either. |

$114 million with $70 million gauranteed is overpaying. Von will never live up to that contract. Only a QB could.

I don't know, KnowMo.
Justin Houston only got 32.5m fully guaranteed and a 20m signing bonus after getting 22 sacks in 2014. Giving Von 70+million guaranteed was arguably overpaying the player based on him being able to dominate bad RTs in the playoffs. Now that front seven loses Trevathan and Malik and has to pay Von 20m a year. |
