Von Miller might crop Broncos general manager John Elway out of his Instagram photos as a passive-aggressive way to voice his displeasure about his current contract situation, but Miller has no plans to skip the team's Super Bowl ring ceremony on Sunday night at Mile High Stadium, according to several reports.
There were questions if Miller would attend, partly because of the current contract impasse -- the Broncos offered Miller a six-year, $114.5 million contract, but he didn't take it because he wants more up-front guarantees -- but also because at least one other member of the Super Bowl team already said they won't be there.
Former Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler, who signed a four-year, $72 million deal with the Texans in March, has already informed the team that he doesn't want to miss OTAs in Houston for the ring ceremony.
Then there's Broncos defensive lineman Derek Wolfe, who signed a four-year, $36.75 million deal in January, weeks before the team won the Super Bowl. Wolfe said last month that he didn't regret signing the contract, even though free agency saw defensive linemen sign substantially larger deals. But Wolfe also missed the Broncos' recent trip to the White House, though it wasn't because he was disgruntled, or due to any political differences he may have with the president.
"No, it was nothing like that," Wolfe said last week, via 9news.com, adding that he was absent because "I just had a lot of stuff going on, things to do."
Whether Wolfe will have things to do during Sunday night's ring ceremony is unknown. Meanwhile, hopefully Miller and Elway will get a chance to chat and make progress on a new deal.
