Has requested release could happen tomorrow if he doesn't restructure

Any interest, or too expensive?

I would be interested if only to stick it to my Bronco loving brother, who still insists that Denver beat Miami in the pursuit of Manning, even though I honestly believe that we did nothing more than interview him to appease the fans.

Sorry, got a little bit "ranty" there...

Denver can have Manning. They will be looking for a QB again in two years and we already have one.

Manning only agreed to interview with us because Ross had Dan Marino ask him as a favor. We were never a real contender to land him.

I know that, but I doubt we really even wanted him to begin with, were on a youth movement, and an aging quarterback known for choking come playoff time doesn't really fit our plans.

Oh, I think Ross wanted him. The man is desperate to sell some tickets!

I cant deny that Ross wanted him for ticket sales, but I can't get myself to believe that Philbin or Ireland really wanted him, with his percieved fragility and really only 3-4 good years left in him at best.

I think that Sherman pretty much had Philbin sold on Tannehill from day 1 when he walked in, and drafting Tannehill and signing Manning would have been more or less a waste of a pick.

Could be relesed tomorrow if he doesn't agree to restructure

I'd be interested if he hits the market

he is staying the DEN at a reduced salary

Crazy snafu, now available

I'd love to add him.

Can't believe Denver messed up so bad.


its one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

In thinking I bet his agent was stringing this out
Knowing if the deadline passed he was owed $12m. Broncos
Watching the clock and couldn't let this happen

I bet the agent heard thru the grapevine dumervile could get more than the reported restructured deal and let this happen

IMO I feel like Dumervil will inevitably end up back in denver, but should they not be able to kiss and make up, he will be chasing maximum money, and I dont want to overpay for him, as much as I would love to have him (partially for reasons listed above) I absolutely do not want to overspend.

I would rather see us shore up our CB situation a little bit first, then see what the draft brings us.

supposedly he wants to play for us. not sure if he is a good fit in the 4-3 at end. anyone know? he'd get paid more than Cam Wake which could be a problem.

Maybe he would agree to the same pay as Wake and then have the two of them fight over a 2 million bonus for whoever gets the most sacks.

we signed for cam for about the same money as hartline got. he got a really team friendly contract. good one ireland.
amazing at the time it seemed like a lot of money. with all this talk of a "flat" cap and dried up FA market it amazing how much guys like hartline and jared cook got paid this offseason.

He'd be a GREAT fit as a 4/3 end.

He's a little short for the ideal model for the position. He's more in the Dwight Freeney mold.

Would love to have him. But not at Wake money.

i'd sign him for wake $$ in a second, but the 8mm he was going to get from DEN is more than wake's $$, and no way he signs for less then the deal he was offered (which was a pay cut)

Dumervil and agent interested in Phins!

He likely won't get anything near $8M from anyone

I would think the Ravens or Pats need to outbid Denver, if they have the cap room

Imagine our D with Wake opposite of Dumervil plus the speedy LB signings we just made. Bye bye Brady!

I would find it really hard to believe that Jeff Ireland, who learned a lot from Bill Parcells, would go after a 5'11 DE.

From PFF:

In 2009, as a 3-4 OLB, Dumervil had a -0.2 overall grade, 14th overall at the position. He was a +14.6 as a pass rusher, and a -13.2 as a run defender.

In 2011, as a 4-3 DE, he had a +1.9 overall grade, 30th at the position. He was a -2.3 as a pass rusher, and a +3.2 as a run defender.

In 2012, as a 4-3 DE, he had a -4.4 overall grade, 44th at the position. He was a +3.9 as a pass rusher, and a -6.1 as a run defender.

It sure looks like the 4-3 defense has not been good for him.
