Broncos sign linebacker Brandon Marshall to 4-year extension

He recently rejected a six-year deal that would have paid him $114.5 million, and is prepared to sit out the 2016 season, due to lesser compensation needed from a team to sign Miller away as a franchise tag player.

After a week defined by the continued stalemate in the Von Miller contract negotiations, Denver Broncos general manager John Elway was relieved to get one of his key starters re-signed to a deal. When the Broncos handed out their Super Bowl jewelry last weekend, Phillips’ ring was inscribed with the last name “Peters”. If the Broncos came at him with $40 million in guarantees, I wouldn’t be upset if it became public knowledge so that everyone knew how stiffed I was getting.

Marshall signed with Denver’s practice squad after the Jaguars cut him for the third time in 2013, and he’s posted back-to-back 100-tackle seasons for the Broncos. “I would like a little bit more stability”.

“I will earn every penny”, Marshall told reporters about his new extension.

There are contract extensions dropping like flies around the league so RJ walks you through them and breaks them down one by one in his own unique, and tangential, way. As I’m taking this drive, I’m just thinking and feeling bad for myself and feeling sorry for myself. I was out there practicing; I was lifting weights-that’s my chip. That’s the biggest chip I have because people doubted me.

Miller didn’t sound too anxious in that interview, and based on history there’s a good chance it all works out.it seems that these negotiations need to get really ugly in June before the July deadline gets close and something gets done at the last minute. At the private ceremony, Broncos Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, in jest, passed around a collection plate for money for Miller’s contract.
