ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The trade of linebacker Von Miller from the Denver Broncos to the Los Angeles Rams came together during a frenzied weekend -- before Broncos general manager George Paton had a chance to tell Miller or the Broncos coaches, players and staff and, perhaps most difficult of all, his son, Beau.
"He didn't appreciate we traded Von Miller," Paton said. "He's still not talking to me. I get it. I understand the emotion in it."
It was finalized Sunday and announced Monday.
Miller was the Broncos' most decorated and longest-tenured player and is a sure bet for the team's Ring of Fame.
