“It’s still hard — you can’t really put it into words,” Miller added.
I’m excited, always been a great teammate and I’m going to continue to do that,” Miller said, adding that he hopes to play on Sunday night when the Rams host the Tennessee Titans.
Miller will provide needed reinforcement to a defense that has experienced a slight decline from last season’s top-ranked performance despite starring three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Donald and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
He was in the final year of the six-year, $114.5 million contract he signed in late July 2016, six months after he had won the Super Bowl 50 MVP award.
“When I said, ‘Broncos for life,’ I meant that — it will always be in my heart,” Miller said.
“Von was the very first draft pick we made back in 2011 at a time when we needed an impact player to turn this team around,” Elway said in a statement.
Miller had a half-sack in the Broncos’ past five games after he had four in the team’s 3-0 start in September.
While I’m here, while my keycard still works, and while I’m a Denver Bronco, I’m going to continue to keep trying to fix it.
This is the second trade between the Rams and Broncos before this year’s trade deadline.
