They're projected to be like $31 million over next year. Would imagine adding Miller could only make that worse. And as bad as the Broncos D has been, why would they trade their best defensive player? And what would Dallas give back in return?Cowboys have serious cap issues, this would only make them worse. Don't quote me on that though.
note: no where does it say why the Broncos would want to do this, just that Elway considers Miller a once a decade player. Why would Elway trade an all-pro, once a decade player for an ok RB, a mostly unproven CB, a safety I've never heard of, and a 2nd round pick?As the NFL's trading deadline -- Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 4 p.m. ET -- approaches, we explore five explosive, albeit unlikely, possible deals.
Proposed trade No. 4:
Broncos trade linebacker Von Miller and running back Ronnie Hillman to Cowboys for cornerback Morris Claiborne, running back DeMarco Murray, safety Barry Church and their 2014 second-round draft choice
Jerry Jones has always been a provincial showman. Born in Arkansas and working the Texas-sized stage as the Dallas Cowboys' owner, he loves to bring in the locals. He hired Jimmy Johnson (Port Arthur, Texas), Barry Switzer (Crossett, Ark.) and Wade Phillips (Orange, Texas) as head coaches. The inaugural event at AT&T Stadium was, naturally, a George Strait (Poteet, Texas) concert.
Before the trading deadline in 2008, Jones made a dramatic deal for wide receiver Roy Williams, the pride of Permian High School (of "Friday Night Lights" fame) in Odessa, Texas, and the University of Texas. The Detroit Lions took him with the No. 7 overall pick in 2004, and four years later Jones shipped a first- and third-round pick to Detroit. It is considered one of the worst trades in Cowboys history.
In 2007, the Cowboys signed offensive linemanLeonard Davis (Wortham, Texas) a former No. 2 overall pick by the Cardinals out of, of course, Texas. Dallas also drafted Lufkin, Texas, nativeDez Bryant in the first round of the 2010 draft.
We mention all of this because the Denver Broncos' relentless linebacker was born in (wait for it …) Dallas. He played at Texas A&M and was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 draft. Denver's executive vice president, a guy named Elway, says Miller is the kind of guy "that comes around every 10 years."
He also comes with baggage, however, which could make the Broncos leery of more possible missteps off the field.
Miller sat out the first six games of the 2013 season after violating league drug policies. Miller, who recorded 30 sacks in his first two seasons, would be just too tempting for Jones, in our estimation. Dallas could offer Denver upgrades at running back and the secondary -- plus that juicy second-round pick. And one less headache.
Although the Cowboys are facing salary-cap difficulties in the near future, the hit from this deal wouldn't be awful because of the league's rookie salary scale. Miller signed a four-year deal worth $21 million and received a $13.77 million signing bonus, which amounts to (only) $3.4 million per season.
what were Miller and Merriman busted for again?Von Miller is so over-rated. The guy is another Shawn Merriman....now that he has been busted, you will see how he will never be the same again. Merriman lived off one year of production too forever.
I've never seen this idiom butchered quite so badly. Are you a native English speaker?These moronic talking heads on ESPN are like a toddler eating a dish of spaghetti and meatballs. They keep throwing their "inside info" against the wall. Sooner or later one of the meatballs sticks to the wall and they're a "genius" for reporting it first! The kid throwing his food has more credibility than these empty suits.
I'm so sorry sir,some of us can't always be as white...er I mean as RIGHT as you are. I didn't realize being a native English speaker was a condition to join in the conversation.

Sir, some of my best friends are non-native speakers. (That's a joke...before anyone blows a gasket.) In truth, this is how we talk to each other at the White People meetings -- that's right, they're real and they're spectacular.

Good god. People actually believe something speculative that has this at the beginning of the article?

Okay, like over 90% of the guys in football are on something. You think guys are 3 times as big as 30 years ago by accident?Von Miller is so over-rated. The guy is another Shawn Merriman....now that he has been busted, you will see how he will never be the same again. Merriman lived off one year of production too forever.
busted for what?Von Miller is so over-rated. The guy is another Shawn Merriman....now that he has been busted
