The Denver Broncos had a phone discussion Friday with pass-rusher Von Miller and agent Joby Branion about his contract, league sources told ESPNs Ed Werder.The Broncos recently modified their offer to Miller and would fully guarantee the third year of their proposed six-year, $114.5 million contract, which would begin in March 2017. The matter of how much, and how quickly, Miller would be paid in guaranteed money in a new deal has been a sticking point between the sides.The changed timeline of guaranteed money was first reported by 9News and confirmed by ESPN.The deadline for franchise-tagged players to sign multiyear contracts is July 15. The total value of the Broncos proposed contract would be the richest deal ever given to a defensive player.Earlier this week, sources told ESPNs Adam Schefter that?Broncos general manager John Elway had personally called Miller over the Fourth of July weekend to express a desire to work out a long-term deal, after almost a full month without dialogue between the sides.Sources said Elway and Miller spent about 10-15 minutes on the phone during that call, with Elway telling Miller that the Broncos still love him and want to re-sign him.?Elway told Miller during that conversation that Denver would reach out to his agents this week in an effort to jump-start talks.In an interview with ESPN The Magazines senior writer, Sam Alipour,?on Saturday, Miller explained the nature of the phone conversation.Wanted to take the business side of it, dont talk numbers -- wanted to talk to him man-to-man, tell him how I was feeling, said Miller, who claims he reached out to Elway. Some of the tactics to use and negotiate. Some of that stuff didnt have to be done, knowing the type of teammate that I am -- knock this stuff out quickly, but they have championship tactics. It works ... way for me to tell them exactly how I felt. Took my agent out of it. Some think the agent has a different message than the player. Wanted to tell him my side. We made progress on that side, getting stuff off my chest, talk to him.Just last month, Miller publicly said he would not play this season under the franchise tag, and all contact between the sides had ceased. Some around the league thought there were hard feelings between the two sides, which could be why Elway personally reached out to Miller.Though the sides have spoken, Miller reiterated he does not want to play under the tag.Never really played for money, hard to get me to do stuff, but its bigger than one year, Miller said. Its a leaguewide problem that I feel like Im in a situation I can help out with.Miller further explained his belief that the franchise tag is an issue for all players.Young guys coming up after me, my contract be a starting point for those guys, Miller said. Came into the league trying to help people out who played before me and after me, but at the end of the day, its my contract with the Denver Broncos. Its bigger than me, bigger than this -- issue is leaguewide, NFL vs. other pro sports. Huge difference.Miller, the MVP of Super Bowl 50, received the Broncos exclusive franchise tag on March 1. Unless Miller and Denver can reach an agreement on a long-term deal by July 15, Miller will make the average of the top five salaries at his position for this year. And because its an exclusive tag, Miller will be prohibited from talking to any other teams.One of the leagues best impact pass-rushers, Miller had 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles as the Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers for the championship. He also had 2.5 sacks and an interception in the Broncos win over the?New England Patriots?in the AFC Championship Game.Miller had 11 sacks, 35 tackles and four forced fumbles en route to his fourth Pro Bowl selection in 2015. He has 60 career regular-season sacks.Information from ESPNs Adam Schefter and Jeff Legwold was used in this report. Air Max 2018 Shoes .

Worcestershire 277 and 181 for 4 (DOliveira 81) lead Northamptonshire 148 (Rossington 55, Leach 5-70) by 310 runsScorecard Joe Leachs third five-wicket haul of the season and 81 from Brett DOliveira put Worcestershire in complete control on the second day against Northamptonshire. The visitors, having taken a first-innings lead of 129, closed 181 for 4 in their second-innings, a lead of 310.Leach added two more wickets to his three on the first evening to help bundle Northants out for just 148 - comfortably their lowest total at Wantage Road this season. DOliveira then led Worcestershire into a commanding lead with a fourth score over fifty in the Championship this season.A century opening partnership with Daryl Mitchell saw Worcestershire seize the game. He and DOliveira survived the odd play-and-miss but it was a chanceless partnership to demoralise Northants, who are now staring at a second defeat of the season with two days to go on a dry wicket beginning to show signs of turn.Worcestershire utilised sunnier afternoon weather to build their lead, first between DOliveira and Mitchell - who eventually fell lbw to Seekkuge Prasanna for 47 - and then for the second wicket with Tom Fell, who closed 36 not out.DOliveira was composed and clever, scampered keenly between the wickets and tucked Prasanna finely past short square leg for a fifty in 92 balls with three boundaries. He lifted Rob Keogh down the ground for four through long-on but, shuffling down the pitch again, Keogh fireed a ball down the leg side and David Murphy completed a smart stumping with DOliveira 19 short of a third century of the year.ddddddddddddKeogh struck again next ball, bowling Joe Clarke, but Tom Kohler-Cadmore survived the hat-trick, only to be trapped lbw by Prasanna for a 13-ball duck before the close.The day began very overcast with Northants 64 for 3 and the home sides hopes of getting back into the game pinned on Richard Levi and Adam Rossington. But Levi never settled having resumed 11 not out and after adding 16 at-times-awkward runs, he pulled Matt Henry straight into the air off a top edge and was caught for 27 by wicketkeeper Ben Cox running towards square leg.It was the first of two important wickets for Henry who produced a beautiful away-swinger to draw an edge from Rossington - Cox dived to his right to take a smart catch. Rossington had at least provided something for his side with a half-century in 61-balls but he fell in the penultimate over before lunch. Another Henry away-swinger saw Prasanna taken at second slip in the first over after lunch.DOliveria helped clean up the tail, trapping Azharullah and Ben Sanderson lbw with consecutive balls across two overs, before Murphy was the last man out - held at point to hand Leach, who earlier had Steven Crook caught at second slip, 5 for 70 and 36 wickets in the Championship this season.
