Denver Broncos' Von Miller hopeful of new deal soon

Despite still being unsigned and not participating in the Broncos' voluntary offseason program, Denver linebacker Von Miller said he expects to have a contract any day.

While in Denver on Wednesday, Miller characterized contract negotiations as "just business."

The Broncos placed the exclusive franchise tag on the Super Bowl 50 MVP, worth about $14.1 million guaranteed for next season. But Miller has yet to sign the tender while his agents and the Broncos try to hammer out a long-term deal.

And there seems to be little animosity between the two parties during negotiations.

"My teammates know what type of teammate I am," he told the Denver Post on Wednesday after providing eyeglasses for nearly 300 local kids as part of his Von's Vision foundation. "They know what type of guy I am. It's just the business part of it.

"There's really no hard feelings or anything like that. (The Broncos) know what type of guy I am. I'm expecting a deal any day. That's just the type of mindset I have."

While he awaits the negotiations to come to an end, Miller is working on his dance moves on the wildly popular "Dancing With the Stars."

July 15 is the deadline for franchise players to either sign a contract or play on the tender.
