On Monday, Denver traded Von Miller to the Rams for a 2022 2nd round pick and a 2022 3rd round pick. It was a bit of surprise that the Broncos traded Miller, but there was some speculation on Sunday that this could happen. It is definitely a sad day as a Broncos fan to see Miller go. I understand the business aspect of this, and I understand why George Paton did it, but it still hurts. Von Miller is the face of the Denver Broncos and all-time Bronco. He will be a Ring of Famer in Denver, and he will be a NFL Hall of Famer. He brought us Super Bowl 50, and he is a Mount Rushmore Bronco in my opinion. Denver felt like it was probably not going to sign him next offseason, so they shipped him off and got back two second day picks. They weren't going to get that-even in compensatory picks next year if he walked. It will hard to replace Von Miller on the field and in the locker room, and it is hard for me to explain to my kids why their favorite Bronco is now being traded. It might turn out to be a great move for Denver, but that is for another day to discuss. It hurts to see such an iconic player in Broncos history get traded away. Hopefully, it will be a win-win situation for both Von and the Broncos.
