Dumervil and Broncos turned down on appeal

NFL turns down Broncos' appeal for Elvis Dumervil; Ravens now want him
In his first act as agent for Elvis Dumervil, Tom Condon approached the NFL office with Broncos football operations boss John Elway at his side.

Condon and Elway asked the league office to recognize the agreement on a revised three-year, $30 million deal negotiated, and verbally approved, by the Broncos and Dumervil on Friday.

When the exchange of documents missed the 2 p.m. Friday deadline, the Broncos released Dumervil to avoid paying a $12 million guarantee. Dumervil in turn fired his agent Marty Magid and replaced him with Condon, who is widely considered the most powerful agent in sports.

The Broncos already had made a plea to the league office Friday and were denied. Even Condon's influence couldn't sway the league as the Broncos and Dumervil were rebuffed again.

It was worth a try, but a long shot as the league likely would become inundated with hundreds of contract-bending agreements if it made an exception for the Broncos and Dumervil .

"All contracts are reviewed by our office," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said at his owners meetings news conference Monday. "If there is something significant they'll bring it to my attention, but those are done as a matter of course."

Would he care to share his personal reaction to the foul up?

"No," Goodell said.

So where does that leave the Broncos and Dumervil? In a completely different arena. Dumervil is now a free agent and the Broncos no longer have sole negotiating rights.

Then again, the Broncos also no longer have the wherewithal to make the same offer. Elway and Condon have continued to talk, but the $4.9 million dead money hit the Broncos received against their $123 million payroll cap is a snag in negotiations.

The Baltimore Ravens are also negotiating with Dumervil, according to an NFL source. Dumervil received a strong recommendation of skill and personal character from Ravens linebacker coach Don "Wink" Martindale.

Good that their slimy ways were finally denied.

Good move Horseface a few more like this and we won't even miss Mcdaniels in denver.

Yup, horsey dropped the ball no matter what the homers from Pile High try to spin.

The Broncos seemed to have done their part... it was Dumervil's agent Marty Magid who fucked up... hence he is fired.

Really? By sending a contract 8 minutes before the dead line? This is fail all around. Broncos(Horseface), agent and Dumervil for dragging his feet. The agent was the scape goat.

Well no shit.

Magichef swore the NFL was going to do the impossible and uncut a free agent.

Again, I have to ask.... why is ANY business still using a fax machine in the 21st century?

Do they have Benedictine Monks instead of copiers as well?

TAMHOUDOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM

I don't remember swearing any such thing. I do remember saying I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Probably a fax number that goes directly to an e-mail.

I'd have to dig it up, but I remember reading that the Broncos got the contract back to the agent at around 10am. The agent didn't get it back to the broncos until 1 something, leaving very little time for anything to be worked out.

The burden was on the Broncos to make this happen. Dumervil already had a contract.

They just lost a starter + $4m, and Elvis gets paid again to play somewhere else.

I guess, it makes sense.

After all we spend tens of millions developing greater and more clear multi-megapixel cameras only to use a program like Instagram to blur the picture after we achieve HD perfection.

Instead of using Adobe, Picasa, or hell even Microsoft Paint, why not get a sketchy grainy emailed pic instead?

Didn't Horseface change the terms at the last second too? What a scumbag organization from top to bottom.

Too bad Knowmo is gone for a year. I could use a glass of donkey tears.

You can still send him rep messages. He reads em.

Really? Thats kind of sad.

Hell, that's how he communicates :) He wants back....BAD

Yeah, agreed. I think they're disappointed that it didn't work out, and I'm sure they wish the NFL had let it happen. However, they were prepared to let him walk, and thought that was the case prior to the agent/Dumervil changing their mind at the last minute. That's not their fault.

Elway: We’ve made an offer to Elvis

Just interviewed John Elway, he said "we've made an offer to Elvis." Will post video to the site soon.

The reworked contract would have paid Elvis $30M over three years, if he had played it out (unlikely).
If Dumervil does return, we'll be surprised to see him get more than $15M over two years, or $20M over three.
Vic Lombardi says the dead money and cap won't be as big an issue as the handwringers are making them out to be. Of course, we've been telling you that since the moment the news of Elvis's release first broke.

Agents, lawyers, and money—guess what comes next?

<article> Attorney: Elvis Dumervil's former agent wants NFLPA to examine contract snafu with Broncos
sports.yahoo.com

Agent Marty Magid is defending his conduct last week in representing former client Elvis Dumervil, saying that his email agreement to accept a contract offer from the Denver Broncos was sufficient under the rules of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement. Attorney David Cornwell said Tuesday that he has contacted the NFL Players Association to discuss the matter, hoping that the union will examine the case on behalf of both Magid and possibly Dumervil, who’s now a free agent…
...The issue is important on multiple levels. First, Magid is hoping to maintain his standing as a certified agent with the NFLPA. Second, any legal claims by Dumervil if he is unable to get $8 million this season would possibly be directed at the Broncos or the NFL rather than Magid, who has been fired by Dumervil. There is also some concern that the estate of the late agent Gary Wichard could pursue legal action in the Dumervil case. Because Wichard, who died in 2011, negotiated Dumervil’s original deal, his estate (and not Magid) may be entitled to the standard 3 percent commission from the contract. In this case, that would have been $240,000. A person close to Wichard’s family said Monday that Wichard’s estate would likely look into the matter.

Hard to pick sides on this one, but one thing's for sure: the lawyer always win.

A lot of businesses do it for plausible deniability. There must of been an error or some such.
Doesnt really make sense here though.

Soooo much fail, by Horsey, Dum, and the Agent. 3 Stooges Pile High.

Elvis SHOUD go to Baltimore if he wants to become a premiere pass rusher.

I'm very surprised that the NFL's darling Broncos lost the appeal. Usually the NFL sucks up to the Cheating Donx. To be continued I'm sure...

They'll win the ****ing SB this year :banghead:

bwa-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahalolololololololololmaolmaolmaosuckit.
