Return To Tender: Elvis Dumervil Re-signs With Broncos
Monday, June 14, 2010
Posted By The Trenches 5:07 PM
Broncos outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil wants a bigger, longer-term contract, but for now he's settling for the one that's in front of him as a restricted free agent. Dumervil signed his first- and third-round tender worth $3.168 million on Monday, the Denver Post reports.
Dumervil, who led the NFL in sacks with 17 last season, had been seeking a deal that would make him one of the five highest-paid pass rushers in the league. While waiting for the more lucrative offer, however, he couldn't afford the potential of being reduced to making just 10 percent more than he did in 2009, or about $630,000. That was the case for him if he didn't sign his tender by Tuesday, June 15.

While Dumervil is locked up for 2010, it won't keep him and his agent from continuing to work out terms for a multiyear deal of his liking.

brandon albert and tamba hali both say 'thank you.'

[TrickyNicky]

Thats a great headline.

Who is that?

[BossChief]

Why would he be worried at all about them dropping the offer to 110% of his previous salary if he really thought a long term deal was gonna get done?

Thats a great headline.

Right? I had to chuckle.

I wonder if the CBA situation comes into play here?

[Ebolapox]

Who is that?

they?

left tackle that made dumervil his bitch week 17, and olb that would like a nice fat contract that will be gauged by what dumervil makes.

[DaFace]

Huh. Hopefully he'll be pissed off enough that the deal didn't get done to walk next year. I doubt it, but he's one of the only young players on the Broncos defense that scare me.

they didn't have much of an issue owning the broncos week 17. pwnage=pwnage. I'm shocked you're willing to show your face after the ayers debacle. you know what you are? fucking clown shoes. you give bronco fans a bad name.

Ayers is a bust, Elvis will get his big payday.

[RNR]

Damn it Vail! I glanced at this and thought First Down Elvis was coming back :shake:

[Quesadilla Joe]

How is he a bust? Denver has a lot of good LB's so it is kind of hard to get playing time. DJ Williams, Elvis Dumervil, Mario Hagan, Robert Ayers, Akin Ayodele, Andra Davis, and Wesley Woodyard would all start over every LB on the Chiefs roster.

:facepalm:

You are the best poster on this site. I like you more than most Chiefs posters on here.

after seeing what tamba routinely did to clady, id take tamba and albert over clady and dumervil.

Cladys overrated and dumervils short. Tamba would have doubled his sack total had he not been held half the season and albert will show everyone that hes just fine.

Only one LB would start for the Chiefs from that list and it's Elvis.

And LB is probably the position we need the most help at.

How about:

Dumb (and) Dumerville: Elvis resigned to remain (in the building).

The contract will get done before training camp. I guarantee it.

Who else for a split second thought Vail meant Grbac?

Sorry RNR, wish that were true.

In time you'll learn to better pick your battles... depth is not the reason Ayers is not getting more time.

*timidly raises hand*

...I was actually afraid to open the thread...heh...

[Quesadilla Joe]

He is going to start this year. Mike Mayock didn't say that three years after the 2009 draft that Ayers would be the best defensive player to come out of that draft for no reason.

[Inspector]

Uh....me.

I figured they were probably desperate for a QB.

:D

[InChiefsHeaven]

Well shit, that settles it then. No way in HELL Mike Mayock could be wrong or anything...:spock:

Crap - I forgot that Mayock proclaimed greatness, my bad.
