Von Miller is not certain to be back with the Broncos for an 11th season, but the veteran linebacker navigated a key issue Friday. He will not face charges in connection with an unspecified incident, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
An investigation of this incident began in January, and the Parker (Colo.) Police Department turned the case over to the D.A.’s office late last month. Neither the police nor the district attorney revealed the nature of the investigation.
“After reviewing all of the materials, the District Attorney’s Office of the 18th Judicial District has determined that no charges will be filed in this case,” 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Vikki Migoya said in a statement, via Denver7’s Troy Renck. “Based on our review of information that is currently available, we cannot meet that standard and must decline to file charges in this case.”
Miller’s offseason will now transition to a Broncos decision. The team has until March 16 to pick up the future Hall of Famer’s 2021 option. Should the Broncos do so, Miller will be tethered to a $17.5MM base salary and $22.13MM cap number. But the Broncos have long been expected to ask their perennial Pro Bowl pass rusher to lower the latter number, via pay cut or possible extension.
New GM George Paton indicated Thursday he would like to have the soon-to-be 32-year-old defender back next season. Friday’s development stands to help on this front.
Raise your hand if you are surprised.
Hell the timing could not have been better as well. On a Friday evening a solid week and half before his option kicks in…..
The Super Bowl 50 MVP was cleared of something, we just don’t know what?
Bingo
Another Douchebag!
I believe he was cleared of a drug charge.
Correct that to domestic violence.
Those domestic violence charges are hard to prove if the right people get paid to clam up.
Don’t let a falling star fall on you Broncos. Cut this guy immediately.
Oh yeah, being cleared can really do a number on a guy’s career…
I’m guessing the commissioner’s office will be conducting its own investigation. He’s not out of the woods yet.
I’m going to predict that the District Attorney costume will be the most popular at next years Halloween party.
Only if Chad Kelly is invited
