The early Twitter reports on DE Von Miller’s contract with the Washington Commanders said that it was a one-year deal with a base value of $6.1m and a total value of up to $10m.

You can see that Miller’s contract has 3 main components:

Base salary of $1.995m (fully guaranteed)

You’ll notice that OTC has Miller’s cap hit set at just $5.84m. The reason for this is that the projected cap hit is not the full value of the contract…
