Miller makes it clear he'll sit out 2016

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos’ summer break began with an ominous message from superstar Von Miller. The Super Bowl MVP suggested he’ll sit out the 2016 season if general manager John Elway doesn’t meet his contract demands over the next month.

One day after saying on Chelsea Handler’s new Netflix show that there was no way he’d consider skipping the season, Miller posted a photo on Instragam and said: “I love my Teammates, Coaches, and My Fans” but there is “No Chance” I play the 2016 season under the Franchise tag.”

If the sides can’t agree on a long-term extension by July 15, Miller would have to play this season on the franchise tag of $14.129 million — or he could choose to sit out the season altogether.
