Here’s Why The Broncos Traded Von Miller To The Rams

Von Miller’s legendary tenure in Denver has come to an end. The Super Bowl 50 MVP has been traded to the LA Rams in a deal that nets Denver two draft picks.

Von is in the last year of his deal and wasn’t going to be brought back next season. Denver got in front of things and traded him to stock up on assets in the wake of the best pass rusher to ever play for the franchise leaving the squad.

Here are the details:

Broncos are finalizing a trade to send eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for two second-day 2022 draft picks, league sources tell ESPN.

Miller is now saying his goodbyes to his friends in the Broncos’ training facility.

Rams are sending the Broncos a second-and third-round pick in the 2022 draft in exchange for eight-time Pro Bowl LB Von Miller, per sources.

As part of the trade, the Broncos are paying $9 million of Von Miller’s remaining $9.7 million salary, per sources.

As a fan I’m going to miss Von but I knew this day was coming. It was obvious that the team had to move on and if the Rams don’t care about draft picks then I say get as many as you can. Hopefully Denver can turn these picks into some players to get this team back on track in 2022 and beyond.
