Sources: Rams finalizing trade for Von Miller

The Denver Broncos are finalizing a trade to send eight-time Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for two second-day 2022 draft picks, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Rams will send the Broncos a second- and third-round pick in the 2022 draft in exchange for Miller, the sources said.

The Broncos will also pay $9 million of Miller's remaining $9.7 million base salary for the remaining nine games in the regular season.

Miller, who hosted a Halloween party for his teammates and friends Sunday night, was in the team's suburban Denver complex Monday morning to say his goodbyes to his coaches and teammates.

Miller, who was John Elway's first draft pick (second overall) as the team's top football decision maker in 2011, was the longest tenured Broncos player. He was in the final year of the six-year, $114.5 million contract he signed in late July of 2016, six months after he had won the Super Bowl 50 MVP award. He is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent following the season.

The 32-year-old Miller and kicker Brandon McManus were the only remaining players on the roster who played in Super Bowl 50 for the Broncos.

Broncos coach Vic Fangio, who spoke just moments before the news of the Miller trade became public, said with the trade deadline approaching that "several'' teams had called the Broncos about deals, but he gave no specifics.

At 4-4, Fangio was then asked if he expressed any of his personal thoughts on what the team should do before Tuesday's trade deadline to general manager George Paton.

"I told him to do whatever he needs to do and we're going to coach and coach winning football with what we've got,'' Fangio said. "I've not tried to influence him one way or another.''

Miller, who is the league's active career sack leader with 110.5 (sacks became an official statistic in 1982), is one of the most decorated players in team history with eight Pro Bowl selections, three first-team All Pro selections and was selected for the All Decade team for the 2010s selected by the Hall of Fame's Board of Selectors.

Miller has a half sack in the Broncos' last five games after he had four in the team's 3-0 start in September. Miller did not play Sunday against Washington because of a left ankle injury and Fangio said after the game it was "not close'' for Miller to be in the lineup.

This past week when Miller was asked about the approaching trade deadline and the team's struggles in a four-game losing streak, he said:

"No, I can't really control any of that. I'm here with these guys and I love all these guys -- whether we lose or not. I can say that all these coaches, all these equipment managers, the media guys --everybody. I genuinely love these guys ... While I'm here, while my key card still works, and while I'm a Denver Bronco I'm going to continue to keep trying to fix it. I'm going to continue to try to do my part to put us back on the mountaintop. I'm going to continue to try to be the type of franchise that this franchise has been historically.''

This is the second trade between the Rams and Broncos before this year's trade deadline. The Rams traded linebacker Kenny Young to the Broncos in a deal that involved a swap of draft picks last week.
