Sounds like Dumb a Dumberville was in charge of this deal

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but Dumervil’s original agent was Gary Wichard who is now deceased. This Magid fellow has probably yet to make any money from representing Dumervil. And wouldn’t have had they agreed to a lesser deal. But on a new contract? He would. The plot thickens…

so what did this agent (Magrid) say what happened then?….”Twenty-three minutes to read it, scan it, fax it, get Elvis to a machine and get it through,” Magid said. “We tried.” per USA Today.
Elway spoke. If Elvis wanted to play for Denver, then he should have made sure of it. Millions on the line, and not to mention his career.

Dumerville and his agent played the “Denver needs me card” not really thinking that they would release them. It has been apparent all along that he was hoping that the would just cave and pay him another year. Elway did not blink and Dumerville will lose out and find that the deal in Denver was really not that bad. To bad for him. I do not think he will be successful outside of Denver.

The league should investigate this clown of an agent. His timeline of events was so unbelievable that it shows he’s either A: an incompetent liar or B: a shyster looking for a payday.
If I were Dumervil I’d fire him either way.

Smart move. Instead of making 8 million, he now gets 5 million and whatever another team is willing to pay him.

Greed is good.

Hmm, nope. The $5 million was just the cap hit from his signing bonus (paid years ago), not money Denver still owes him. If (when) Elvis only gets paid $5-6 million this year, his agent may be the next one Dumrvil sacks. Anyone know if Elvis changed agents since his last contract? If so, sure the new guy wanted to have to have a new contract so he could get paid.

What a bunch of Donkeys. SMH.

muratp3: The reason the fax machine is still around is that it’s quick and easy.

Much quicker than emailing.

Dumervil to the Lions and then all they need to do is draft Eric Fisher at OT and all of a sudden they have no weaknesses.

Fax machine!? A multimillion dollar business transaction relying on of fax machine? Come on people, get a scanner or a mobile phone.
———-
Some of my customers make huge monthly payments on car-sized document processors, and every one has either a fax module or an optional port. I’ve never seen anyone use a scanner to do serious business.

Elway is not very sharp when it comes to organizational skills and documentation because I don’t see the log entry here for when Elway recently highly insulted Dumervil about his contract being way out of whack despite a highly productive year. What a convenient omission. No wonder Elvis was waffling at the last minute, he didn’t have the support and the relationship with Elway that would have served the best interests of both parties. So they both will get a lesser deal now.

Great job Denver. This is a mngmt fumble.

Ted Thompson, get on the phone and get this guy in the door. Give him the money you would have paid Greg Jennings and call it a coup.

Hmmm..these contract snafus never seem to happen to guys like Welker, Manning, Decker, and Wolfe. Those guys are white, and Dumervil is black. What could possibly account for the difference in treatment?

Come on, it should have been said already. Elvis has left the building!

REMEMBER that Fax machines date and time stamp when they transmit and receive. This will not be hard to find out who is telling the truth and where the fault lies………Lets see the transaction reports folks…

unfortunate, but hate when guys and teams sign deals and then say the deal is no longer good. They should have just payed the kid like they said they would. I hope he signs with either the chiefs, chargers, or raiders, and sacks the crap out of peyton time and time again.

everything that Elway say sound like
a damn lie. Elway jumped in front of
every camara he could find and said he didnt want to pay Dumervil
and called his agreed apon contract
” out of whack”.

This is stupid. Now there is dead money that no one gets. So bringing Elvis back at the same contract will cost millions more in dead money. Idiotic. They need to split the difference and call it a day. Well played hardball guys.

Was a great week for the Broncos until this. All that work to make cap space just to give some away. Arghh.

Etc…

Seems like they pulled one on the Broncos. Sticking them w/ the balance of the pay cut. 5mil hit towards the cap? Nasty!
