ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- It was just a matter of details. Never was the desire to complete a long-term contract in question for either Von Miller or John Elway.
The back-and-forth played out over the course of several months, going back to February, when both sides hoped to have a deal done to avoid the franchise tag. That didn't derail the deal; it just postponed it until now.
And for the fourth time in as many opportunities, Elway got a franchise-tagged player signed to a long-term contract, with Miller agreeing to a six-year deal.
