AP source: Miller rejects $114.5 million offer
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) A person familiar with the matter tells The Associated Press that Super Bowl MVP Von Miller's camp has rejected a contract proposal that would have made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of negotiations, said Miller's representatives rejected a six-year, $114.5 million offer that included $39.8 million in guarantees in the first two years.
Joby Branion, who represents Miller, didn't immediately return a message left by The AP seeking comment on the rejected offer, which was first reported by ESPN.
