Despite the fact that Eagles All-Pro defensive tackle Fletcher Cox's mega-extension signed earlier this offseason upped the value of Denver Broncos defensive end Von Miller in his quest for a new deal with the Denver Broncos, the Super Bowl champion was not thrilled at the news that Cox came to terms on a new extension.

In an in-depth conversation with Sports Illustrated, Miller's reaction to Cox's new six-year deal worth $102 million with $63 million guaranteed back in June was one of dismay and frustration, rather than anticipation of what it meant for his own negotiations with the Broncos:

Ultimately, Miller wound up signing a 6-year deal of his own with the Broncos worth $114 million with $70 million guaranteed. However, it seems that the fact that Cox's deal was consummated first seems to have miffed the Super Bowl 50 MVP.
