Jeff Darlington ‏@JeffDarlington Wild stuff on Dumervil right now: It's clock management. Agent made a "colossal mistake," source says, by not getting signed contract faxed.

I don't know if it was a colossal mistake or not. Maybe the Broncos just set the market for Dumervil and Dumervil just told his agent, "Screw 'em." He'll get that much money and more playing for another team.

This shows his cap hit at 13,623,000 in 2013.

It shows dead money at $4,869,000.

Right, an agent is going to **** himself out of millions of dollars.

Elway will probably get a "do-over".

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-15-2013, 02:28 PM

They'll probably just make up for it with a massive signing bonus to skirt the dead money and spread it out over several years.

Still, this is why the "You're not a GM" shit doesn't fly. Intelligent people who pay attention to detail don't make mistakes like this.

This is funnier than the time the Raiders accidentally released the wrong player. The pages got stuck together or something, and instead of cutting their training camp scrub, they got rid of their 3rd round pick

I hate it, too, but Traylor was the one that hurt the most.

He was a wrecking machine against us in the playoffs. Without him, the Broncos lose in Arrowhead that night.

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

Dumervil release creates $4.87 million in dead money according to @MaseDenver. Yikes.

BRING HIM IN FOR A LOOK

I don't think so. He had a really interesting contract with 'rolling guarantees' that didn't kick in until those deadlines. I think the Broncos will take a small hit because it's about to accelerate 3 years worth of signing bonus (about 1.5 million) but his 'guaranteed money' wasn't really guaranteed; he had to be on the roster at that deadeline to lock it in.

It was an easily escapable contract and it appears the Broncos did just that.

I hope the Patriots sign him now.

Dumervil's release gives #Broncos huge dead money hit. Limits ability to bring him back with a "new'' deal.

Haha

That doesn't even make any sense.

Not only did this deal not go through, it cost the Broncos a ****ton of cap space.
