Miller, noted as an eccentric player in the league, posted on Instagram that he’d been traded from the Broncos.

The timing of the post — plus the fact that, you know, he’s a Super Bowl MVP in the second year of a six-year, $114.5 million deal with Denver — should have raised a few red flags, but more than a few people who commented on his post said he’d given them a scare.

Miller isn’t the only high-profile player to have played pranks on their fans today: Pittsburgh running back Le’Veon Bell said he would sit out the 2017 season before playing with a franchise tag, though his “threat” was quickly dismissed as another joke.
Glad to see these players are in the holiday spirit.
