Broncos' Von Miller: Claims he won't play under franchise tag

Miller has proclaimed that he will not play the 2016 season under the franchise tag, FOX31 Denver reports.

Analysis:

This social media proclamation comes right after Miller claimed that he could not see himself playing for another team or sitting out the 2016 season. While this might seem like an about-face, Miller is simply reducing options, leaving -- surprise, surprise -- a long-term deal as the lone remaining choice. Miller wants a long-term deal, and he wants to get paid upfront. Any public comments between now and the July 15 deadline for franchise-tag players will likely come down to that very point.
