NFL players react to Von Miller's new $114 million Broncos deal
The Denver Broncos and Von Miller made peace on Friday -- and when they did, Miller's fellow NFL players were quick to congratulate him on his big payday.
Just hours before the NFL's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to strike a long-term deal, the two sides reportedly agreed to a six-year, $114 million contract that guarantees Miller $70 million. Miller confirmed the news shortly with an all-caps tweet:

Meanwhile, Lions offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz said what we were all thinking:
It was quite a different social media reaction from NFL players than earlier this summer, when the NBA's free-agency bonanza caught the attention of football players throughout the league.
Congratulations to Miller and the Broncos. If you're interested in spending your hard-earned money on a self-serving table-tennis machine, Von, then Andrew Luck probably knows a guy.
