Are you sure

LMFAO.

Keystone cops?

GO BB go get him!

@MikeKlis: Contract not filed by 1:59 p.m. Dumervil informed Broncos he was taking the new deal at 1:25.

Broncos didn't get fax with Elvis Dumervil signature on contract until 2:07 p.m. -- 7 minutes and 1 second past the deadline!

What a mess in Denver. They must have filed the Welker contract and gone over the cap. So Elvis has left the roster.

DOH, Face palm

Wild stuff on Dumervil right now: It's clock management. Agent made a "colossal mistake," source says, by not getting signed contract faxed.

This is awesome hahaha what do you guys think happens now?

Dumervil is a bit undersized for a Patriots DE.

Don't see it happening.

Only reason I would see it happening is because Den took a Patriot.

 

By the way FA has been moving, he'll probably be in SEA on a cheap 1 year deal........

I think this makes the Freeney negotiations interesting though.

 

He was supposedly their back up in case Doom gets cut.

Even at 8 Mil he's a bit pricey no?

Good possibility Freeney could now be going to Denver

The Broncos did not file RE Elvis Dumervil's new contract in time, and he has been released.

Denver had until 4PM ET to submit the new deal to the league office, but they simply didn't get it in before the deadline because Dumervil didn't get his signature on the document until 4:07PM. The two sides had agreed to slash Dumervil's salary from $12 million to $8 million, so there is an agreement. We tentatively expect Dumervil to re-up with the Broncos, but he's now open to see what else is out on the market. It's doubtful Dumervil would find $8 million anywhere else, considering what Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett have signed for in recent days.

dumervil is the young pass rusher we need opposite jones.

@Jeff_Legwold: Dumervil's release gives #Broncos huge dead money hit. Limits ability to bring him back with a "new'' deal

        gregg rosenthal ‏@greggrosenthal

Dumervil release creates $4.87 million in dead money according to @MaseDenver. Yikes. Limits ability to bring him back with a "new'' deal

Wow...late filing...gotta be kidding....

DrewSoicher (Sports Announcer): Bethcha the Patriots sign #Dumervil in the next five minutes.

In response to Rocky's comment:

LOLOLOLOL!!!!

    Den goes from patting them selves on the back for signing Wes one minute to screwing the pooch for not getting paperwork faxed on time for Dumerville the next. : )

dumerville is a bigger loss than wes is an addition. they already had a potent offense now they lose a top pass rusher. 

In response to wonderdrums' comment:

Dumervil is a force/beast.  Elway is trying to re-do his contract via the media.  Big mistake.  There is a real possibility that Dumervil will not want to play with the Broncos as a result.  IF so, BB, with Mr. Krafts money should make a big run at this guy and sign him.  Nice pay back with Wes signing with the Broncos.
