Unless he agrees to a large paycut he will be a FA tomorrow at like 4

If we didn't already have two good rushbackers, I wouldn't be mad if we moved a pick for a guy like Dumervil.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all, but Elway has really just taken over the Broncos in a way that I did not expect. Our old GM (Xanders) came across as kind of a dumbass but it seemed to me like the FO was going to be a three headed monster of VP/GM/HC. It's pretty much Elway running the show with guidance from Joe Ellis.

Xanders never was calling the personnel shots. He was strictly a numbers guy taking care of the cap.

Yeah, McDaniels pretty much just ran him over. Elway called him out on that publicly in a press conference. Xanders did not respond to the challenge and was let go.

Kind of like Pioli, now we have a combo of Dorsey and Reid who are going for it. We may not be a serious contender but damnit theyre trying and thats all i can ask for right now

Sure. You're at the same spot we were a few years ago. Crappy FO is looking like it's fixed, time to build the franchise back up.

I think I heard from a Bronco friend at the office that Elway said that when he took over, the organization was worse than he's ever seen it before.

I believe it.

It's kind of funny. Thinking about Hunt and Bowlen. Neither one of them want to run the team. I saw a pic of our FO after Fox was hired, they were preparing for the draft. Everybody is sitting at table with suits on, ready to conduct some srs bzns. Bowlen is hanging out in a t-shirt and jogging shorts just kind of ****ing around like, "Hey guys. Was the draft today? Holy shit! Are these donuts for anybody or can I grab one of those jelly filled bastards?"

Mile High Mania · 03-15-2013, 04:30 AM

I'll be bummed to see him go if that happens, but if they can get a viable and reliable replacement at a better price point - so be it. There's no doubt he was overpaid.

I'm just curious what the market puts as a price on him if he does become a FA. Would he get that $ elsewhere or possibly just accept lower because he's upset with Denver? I dunno. One might think he could look at the bigger picture of what they're positioned to do and say "I can make this work", but that rarely happens either.

I just don't know if the contract he has now will be out there on the open market.

Source telling me, at this moment, things are not looking good between Dumervil and Broncos. A lot can happen in 39 mins though. #ticktock

Per team source, Dumervil REMAINS a Denver Bronco!!!!

silver5liter · 03-15-2013, 01:33 PM

sucks

My understanding is that Elvis Dumervil agreed to a sizable paycut.

MagicHef · 03-15-2013, 01:36 PM

Perfect.
