Chargers could use Dumervil, but they’re already loaded at his position (and SD is losing S.Phillips and Antwon Barns).

I bet Elway threw his beer bottle at 2:07.01

The question is not who still uses a fax machine… it is who names their kid Elvis?

This reminds me of George Constanza’s “Don’t sign the check” routine.

Look at the film people; Elvis is a liability against the run and his agent is dumb. Elvis is now gonna have up-root and make less than 8 for listening to a guy who represented Travis (Pants Down) Henry. What a fiasco!

I was trying to find out who Dumervil’s agent was and while searching, I came across the fact that Elvis Dumervil’s middle name is “Kool”. Yes, that’s right, Kool, like the menthol cigarette. That’s even more interesting than this situation.

“Elvis tried to pull a fast one. Elway isnt stupid.”

My take exactly. The agent (and Elvis likely) tried to gotcha Elway by sending the fax after the deadline to see if Elway didn’t act, that way the Broncos owe Elvis $12 mil for 2013.

I believe the evil Elvis agent angle. They did it on purpose, trying to get the $12 million bucks. Not to be trusted…he’d be a good agent for far from g@y Notre Dame linebackers…

He must have been waiting to confirm with Manning on if to keep him or not.

I just read at the Denver post that the fax situation just cost the Broncos $4.89M in cap penalties this year! Guess if you are a disgruntled employee that is one way to stick it the old boss. I guess it is okay for a player or agent to string a team along and make them either pay you or get stuck with salary cap penalties if they release you. It would seem to me that the Broncos should have some legal options available as it appears that Dumervil’s agent was not negotiating in good faith.

Elvis has officially left the building. come to cleveland you belong near the rock hall of fame, where they are building a dominant defense, that will wreak havoc upon opposing qbs in a town near you.

Obviously not many people who post here have a job, health insurance or ever have to deal with banks or any financial institutions. They will only send secure documents by FAX . Faxes cant be hacked and don’t leave electronic trails.

Just another debacle for agent Marty Magid, the biggest idiot and wannabe pretender in the business. Only good thing good is that this will finally get him completely out of the agent biz. Too bad at the expense of dumerville, who doesn’t deserve this.

A fax? Cleveland should grab this guy, to put with Kruger and Bryant, and call it a day. Get Patterson at number 6.

Stop with the fax machine jokes, I’m sure everybody’s office has one or more. Anyway do you really think it was about a fax machine? Dude didn’t want to take the pay cut. Sounds like he wanted to be a free agent, and I don’t blame him one bit. Now what he should do is come to the Raiders and really make them pay!

Those of you who are laughing at them using fax machines and thinking that no one uses them anymore are COMPLETE uneducated morons. Fax machines are used frequently still in the business world.

Documents that need to be signed can’t exactly be signed over the computer LOL. You have to actually sign it and then find a way to get that document across country/city/state, etc. That is where the fax machine comes in handy. Yes, you can sign the document and then scan it, upload it and then email it but that is a much longer process and I am sure you will complain about that part. So, the fax machine is your friend. Plus, these teams, and agents need to keep and file these hard documents. Anything can be altered on the net. So faxing the contract over gives you that hard copy. There are also digital pads like ipads where it can record your signature. Yes, that is a possibility to use. But again, teams want and need hard copies. so why add all that extra work when you can just simply sign and fax? LOL

So before you bros say something as ignorant and uneducated as that, you should just sit down in the quiet room, tv on mute, computer screen off and just THINK. You will be amazed at what your brain can actually do if used properly.

Faxing is still quite common and is faster than scanning a document and emailing it.

But since most of the posters here have never worked in an office, their ignorance is hardly surprising.

Who are the 36 people who disliked the first comment? I’m surprised they could log on through their dial-up connections.

Reggie McKenzie oughta find a way to get him in Oakland.

this is the kind of move that gets fans back into the seats. a pickup like this, from heated rival….just makes for a good story. whether you like the Raiders or not..you gotta admit this would be kind of cool to watch unfold

I heard from a reliable source that Elway was struggling with making a copy of the contract withjthe official mimeograph machine, which they got from microfiche, then just as they were getting ready to send a telegram to Dumervil about the news, someone wheeled out the fax machine, not realizing that it was “on the fritz”.

If your team has a 4-3 D and you want Dumerville, just slap yourself. He is only 5″11 & will be the guy the offense runs to every down. As a 3/4 olb you can get yourself a terrific pass rusher. So stop playing madden everyone, this is the real world.

Fax is still the fastest way to send signed documents. With a fax machine you are scanning, emailing, and printing a document all in one step.
