My understanding is Elvis Dumervil agreed to cut his base salary from $12 million to $8 million for 2013.

Adam Schefter:

Elvis Dumervil deal also includes a $3.5 million guarantee on the 2nd day of league year in 2014.

@MikeKlis: Hold on, contract not filed in time. Elvis Dumervil has been officially released

Lol

There's a first. Wonder if they still give him 8M?

 

[Ray_Dogg]

We should cut Haralson and give Elvis more than the Broncos.

Aaron Wilson:

Kevin Ogletree's two-year Buccaneers deal is worth $2.6 million, per source.

Dustin Keller's one-year Dolphins deal is worth $4.25 million, including $1 million bonus, total of $2.25 million guaranteed, per source.

$8 million this year? Not sure what the figures were beyond 2013.

Crazy!

We should. But if you would've told me that we could get Sean Smith for 6mil a year for three years I would've thought the FO would have jumped all over that. I doubt they get involved.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

With Elvis we wouldn't need Sean Smith.

Albert Breer:

The timeline ... At 1:25 pm MT, Dumervil accepted the Broncos' proposal to slice his base salary from $12 million to $8 milion. ...

... Dumervil and his reps were informed they needed to fax a signed deal back by 1:59 MT. When it didn't come back, Denver released him. ...

... The Broncos have a fax with the signed deal from Dumervil at 2:06 pm MT. Denver sources: "We had to protect ourselves."

Matt Miller:

Text I just received from NFL executive: "The Broncos just pulled the most Raider move ever." Classic.

Andrew Brandt:

Dumervil, if cut, will not be resigned, makes no sense. Team will take a big hit on dead money upon release.

Breer:

Some math: $4.869M in Bronco dead money from Elvis cut. Reworked cap charge w/paycut would been $9.623M. So maybe Denver offers Elvis <$5M?

 

[michaelwarner]

With Elvis we wouldn't need Sean Smith.

True dat.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

This is literally the biggest no-brainer. It trumps Boldin for a 6th rounder by a mile.
