In exchange for Miller, the Rams will send a second round pick and third-round selection to the Broncos at the 2022 NFL draft.
Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Miller’s $9.7 million remaining base salary will be paid by the Broncos for the nine remaining games of the regular season.
Miller was emotional as he sat in the back of his SUV and reported to reporters that he was shocked by the trade.
It’s still hard to put it into words. It’s still raw. But thank you, thank everyone, and off to L.A Miller.
Miller said, “It’s still difficult — you can’t really explain it in words.” “I was once told by someone that if you want to make God smile, make plans. It’s important to just keep going and take it one day at the time. “I’ve had a beautiful boy, lots of wonderful memories here, lot many great coaches, lot many great fans.
Miller will be joining a 7-1 Rams team in Los Angeles that is one of the favourites to win a Super Bowl LVI.
“Great team — I have been a big fan of Aaron Donald’s [defensive tackle] for a long while. They played a fantastic defense. They got a great defense. Miller stated that he is excited and has been a great teammate since childhood. Miller also said that he hopes to play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
The Rams made a huge trade for Matthew Stafford, their quarterback, which they believed would be the last addition to their team’s quest for a Super Bowl title.
With the trade deadline approaching, Rams coach Sean McVay stated that he didn’t anticipate any “big splash moves,” as he had said last month. The fifth-year coach said, however, that he would not say “never.”
McVay stated Monday evening that his initial reaction to being informed of a Miller deal was “You’ve got s—ting me!” That’s exactly what I said. “I’m like, “No way.”
Miller will be a valuable addition to a defense that is experiencing a slight decline in its performance last season despite featuring three-time NFL Defensive Players of the Year Donald, and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsay. Miller will be an easy fit for the Rams’ 3-4 system, which Vic Fangio developed, as he plays opposite Leonard Floyd, who is Vic Fangio’s outside linebacker. Miller will draw attention to Donald, who is 18th in the league in sacks with five and has been double-teamed in 106 snaps this year, which is the fourth-most in the NFL.
McVay described Miller as “an element, obviously an extremely unique football player that is not only a great pass-rusher but also a complete football play that can really influence and affect an offense in an adverse way on all three downs.” Miller can be used in many different ways.
McVay stated that Miller would have to undergo a physical Tuesday, but that it was his hope and expectation that Miller would be available for Sunday’s game against the Titans.
Miller hosted a Halloween party Sunday night for friends and colleagues. He was there Monday morning to say goodbye to his coaches and fellow teammates.
Miller stated, “Always have Super Bowl fifty — seeing the photos when I was walking out made it make me cry,” Miller added. Miller said, “We always had Super Bowl 50, always had Broncos Country and just kept going.”
Miller was John Elway’s second draft pick and was also the top football decision-maker for the Broncos in 2011. He was the longest-tenured Broncos players. Miller was in his final year of the $114.5m contract, which he signed in July 2016. This was six months after he won the Super Bowl 50 MVP Award. Following the season, he will be an unrestricted agent.
Miller stated, “When I said, “Broncos for Life”, I meant that — it would always be in my heart.” It was an honor to be able to play here. John Elway chose me, and it was life-changing.”
Miller (32), and kicker Brandon McManus, were the only players who participated in Super Bowl 50 for Broncos.
Elway stated in a statement that Ron was the first draft pick made in 2011. This came at a time when our team needed an impact player to turn around this team. He was under a lot pressure as the No. He was the 2nd overall pick and exceeded all expectations in 11 seasons as a Bronco.
“Von was always there when we needed him most. Von’s dominant individual performance that year was key to our Super Bowl 50 win, and the playoff run that followed would not have been possible.
Fangio spoke only moments before Miller’s trade news became public. He said that several teams had called the Broncos to discuss deals as the deadline neared. However, he did not give any details.
Fangio was asked by George Paton if Fangio had any thoughts about what the team should do prior to Tuesday’s deadline for trades.
Fangio stated, “I told him that he could do whatever he needed to do and that we would coach and coach winning football using what we have.” “I have not tried to influence him in any way.
Miller is the active career sack leader in the league with 110.5 (sacks were made an official statistic in 1982). He is also one of the most decorated players on team history, with eight Pro Bowl selections as well as three first-team All Pro selections. The Hall of Fame’s board of selectionors selected him for the all-decade team in the 2010s.
Miller had a half-sack in five Broncos games, after he had four during the team’s September 3-0 start. Fangio stated after the game that Miller was unable to play against Washington Sunday because of a left ankle injury.
Miller answered a question about this week’s trade deadline and his team’s troubles in a four-game losing streak.
“No, I cannot control anything. I am here with these guys, and I love all of them — regardless of whether or not we lose. All these coaches, all those equipment managers, and all the media guys — everyone. These guys are truly special to me. I love these guys. While I’m still here, my keycard works and I’m a Denver Bronco. I will continue to try to fix it while I’m there. I will continue to do my part in getting us back to the top. “I’m going to keep trying to be the franchise this franchise has been historically.
This is the second trade between Broncos and Rams since the trade deadline. In a deal that included a swap for draft picks, the Rams traded Kenny Young, linebacker, to the Broncos. McVay stated that Young’s trade was financially motivated at the time.
McVay stated, “Whether that means that any major big steps are imminent for us. That’s not something I can really talk on right now.”
After DeSean Jackson signed a $4.5 million contract with the Rams, he requested to be traded late last week.
McVay stated that there had been “some dialogue with some teams” after Sunday’s 38-22 win over the Houston Texans. McVay did not provide any further information on Jackson Monday. However, McVay stated that there was an increased urgency to find a solution for the receivers group following McVay’s announcement that Tutu Atwell, a rookie, will have season-ending shoulder surgery.
