![]() Well, sure, the $ was a factor. But maybe not the biggest factor since the $ wasn't really all that different. I think this had just as much to do with pride/ego (miffed about being asked to take a pay cut) and the ability to showcase himself as a 3-4 LB where he proved at his best in 2009. But if he wanted to win a Super Bowl I think he made the wrong choice. Combine that with having to uproot his life and it's a questionable decision to say the least. But it's his decision of course and he had every right to make it.

![]() Elvis Dumervil is now #58.
Funnnnnnnny guyyyyyy! Apparently Baltimore sold him on going back to OLB in their 3-4 and the fact that he has a longer career if he switches from DE. Wink Martindale is there and sucked him off. Longer career means he could get one more contract. |

![]() So what's taking so long to sign someone? I thought we'd have another guy on board by now.

![]() Only my opinion but I think we absolutely wet the bed on this one. Now you'll continue to hear Broncos spin that we were prepared for this and had a back-up plan ready to fire as soon as we released Dumervil. Well if that is indeed the case then why did we literally beg Dumervil to come back in the form of multiple contract offers and now we're sitting at a status quo with no replacement signed
![]() I honestly think they totally ****ed this up and thought they could get Doom back at a low price even after the fax fiasco. Dumervil played them and played them well and now they dont really know who to replace him with. There's not too many people **** over No7 but our former RDE just did and in effect Dumervil never really lost any money at all because he was never getting that $12m. He was only ever getting $8m guaranteed and a further $3.5m guaranteed only for injury. Now Elway and Co may well find a replacement in the draft or get a year or 2's decent play out of Freeney or Abraham but until he accomplishes that, it somewhat damages what looked like a very good offseason up until that Friday for me. |

You don't have to be a loud mouth rah rah guy to be a leader. Champ has been a leader. He and Miller lead by example. I would much rather have guys that don't need HS pep talks to get them up for games. There are plenty of guys who can rant, scream and yell let's go kick their ass before games. That doesn't make you a leader. A leader is a guy who gets it done on Sundays, is helpful to the younger players and is a good guy in the locker room. We have guys that like that. Now, that doesn't mean I'm not saying we couldn't use a stud MLB, we do, but I don't think we have a lack of leadership on this team, offense or defense. |

![]() I still think Doom is going to be held like a b**** and get no calls. That is the great equalizer to his talent. That is why he will always be good, not great.

![]() OP is a prick but this will be a call out to Doom and his great agent for his great idea of trying to **** over Bowlen, Elway, Fox and the Broncos. How is it going in Baltimore there Doom?

![]() Had to clear out the locker room cancer... funny, where ever Loservil goes the team falters.
I'm not really serious about that but he could have been a part of this but played his bull**** game. |
