Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller received a six-year, $114.5 million contract in July, and with Christmas coming up, he spent a solid chunk of that change on his AFC West opponents.

According to Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post, Miller gave every player in the AFC West — including practice squad players and those on the injured reserve — a custom bottle of wine and a thank you note. That’s over 200 bottles.

The wine was blended by Jesse Katz, a Boulder, Colo., native, and came with a note from Miller thanking the players for sharing the field with him twice a year:

In 2015, Miller gave every member of the Denver Broncos underwear and a bottle of whiskey. When asked by reporters why he gave the players underwear, he said it was “because it increases blood flow to the area."

Like a fine wine, Miller’s gift giving is getting better with age.
