A statement from EVP of Football Operations John Elway on defensive end Elvis Dumervil.

STATEMENT FROM DENVER BRONCOS EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF FOOTBALL OPERATIONS JOHN ELWAY:

“For the last week, Elvis Dumervil and his agent were aware of our desire to change the financial terms of his contract to ensure he would remain a Denver Bronco. After numerous conversations with both Elvis and his representative, we submitted our final contract proposal to Elvis today at 11 a.m. MDT. Based on our previous discussions, we believed our offer was fair and were hopeful it would resolve this matter.

“Due to the procedural elements that were involved in executing the new proposal, we imposed a 1 p.m. MDT deadline for a decision, one hour before the NFL’s waiver wire at 2 p.m. MDT. Our deadline was clearly communicated to Elvis’ representative.

“At 1 p.m. MDT, we were informed by Elvis’ representative that he declined our offer. We then prepared Elvis’ termination notice to officially file his release with the NFL office.

“At approximately 1:25 p.m. MDT, however, we were informed that Elvis changed his mind and accepted the same contract we proposed nearly two-and-a-half hours earlier. Although we expressed our concern regarding the time constraints, we were assured that the signed documents would be submitted to us before the league’s waiver deadline.

“We did not receive the documents from Elvis by the league’s deadline and were forced to release him shortly before 2 p.m. MDT.

“Due to this situation, there are now salary cap implications associated with this transaction that we must consider with regard to potentially re-signing Elvis. At this moment, we are discussing all of our free-agency options to determine what’s best for the Denver Broncos.”
 
Ponder is decent but at least AP got some help.


Fraij you think Packers fans are gonna give Jennings the Favre treatment?

Jaguars announce that they signed former Bucs DT Roy Miller, former #Texans DB Alan Ball and former #Texans RB Justin Forsett to 2-year

I don't know who Miller is, but Forsett is a good pickup for them
 
Is it possible, going down from 12 mil to 8 mil, Dumerville and his agent tried to purposely send the fax late, ensuring the extra 4 mil if Denver wasn't payin attention? I mean, that's a 4 million dollar piece of paper affected by 60 "accidentally late" seconds if Denver wasn't standing by the fax machine. :nerd:
 
Vikings feeding off our leftovers again. I give them them credit though, they know where to look for talent. I'll take this signing as a compliment.

Jay02 already said Jennings is the best WR in the league before, therefore... it's not a stretch.

I thought we all knew it wasn't a packer fan who said that. I think it was a steelers fan... Don't go trying to put that on me.

I read the 4mil was already paid out through a prorated bonus and doesnt count as an extra payday. 

Not sure how that works though
