Denver snafu with Dumervil

[Guiness]

Dumerville has long been one of the bigger frauds in the league. He gives you 10 sacks, but can't play the run for shit. His sacks are the result of his ability to get singled up and take a seam. If he didn't have the brilliant Von Miller on the other side, he's be lucky to get a handull of sacks.

The Broncs were painted in the corner with his contract and punted.

I'll be very curious to see who signs this niche player.

I don't know much about the player, but he did ok before Von Miller came along. 17 sacks in '09 and another dozen in '07. His tackle numbers aren't bad either. I've never really seen him play though, we'll see what he gets on the open market.

His agent's side of the story. If it's to be believed, the Bronco's were dicking around until the end, playing with salaries and guarantees.

One thing that stuck out to me was that the agent claims he received the contract offer at 1pm EDT on Friday, and the Broncos
a) wanted it back for 1pm MDT, and
b)are claiming they sent it through at 11am MDT.

When they sent it should be easy to figure out from the fax transmittal logs, which I'm guessing Dumervil's ex-agent will make available if they vindicate his side of the story.

I smell pursuit of the American Dream, err, a lawsuit here somewhere.

Doom has had some off the field issues too. There was a lot of hubub around here about him, a gun, and a parking spot in Miami last offseason.

I thought Finley's bonus was due on 3/27?

I thought it was due last week Friday after reading the JSO article about the Jennings/Jackson negotiations putting Fin on hold over news of his bonus.

But I do not have the source on me. Ah, but after snooping around, I did find your Mar. 27th date: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/195695611.html
