Donks Screw Up, Lose Dumervil

[BradshawsHairdresser]

Man, that's got to be embarrassing.


Now he's on the open FA market. Too bad we didn't have cap room...we could bring him in and go to a 4-3.

[Siggy00]

Sure we do.

Extend Troy a year and re-work 2012.

Presto!

[Eddie Spaghetti]

it was my understanding that dumervils agent screwed up, possibly on purpose.

definitely two sides to this story.

[Sugar]

The agent didn't send a fax on time. Fax??? Really??? What is this, 1996?? Who in modern business uses a fax anymore?

[Siggy00]

The Broncos apparently.

Rumor is Dumervil went to a Kinkos to do this. LOL

[BradshawsHairdresser]

If you have a potential $8 million investment on the line, you allow his agent to submit the contract via fax? If I'm running the team, I send a rep to receive it in person--and make sure it's done on time.

Right?? Any incompetence charges leveled at our FO now pale in comparison to this...

So now you want to

. keep re-working contracts of older players to stay afloat.

??????????

To land a pass rusher? Sure. Why re-work all these guys for clowns like DJ, Speath, Gradkowski, etc?

If they are going to do it, make it worthwhile.

[Mister Pittsburgh]

Sounds like a purposeful screw-up. Like a Scott Boras move.

I can't argue with that logic, that's for sure. At this point, I'd use draft picks as the backups and depth and hope they develop and just have these guys as camp bodies for a bit, including a backup quarterback.

My fax machine is in the closet. I fall out of my chair when someone wants me to fax something. If it needs a signature, I print it, sign it, scan it, email it. That is a pain too. Why can't an email be good enough of a confirmation? Some elements of the NFL are really behind the times. He didn't _fax_ it in time. <shaking head> Reminds me of Jerry McGuire.

[SteelBucks]

Dumervil fired his agent. My money says he returns to the Broncos.

Ravens having him in. Not sure where they stand against the cap with all the moves they made.

[BradshawsHairdresser]

Hard to see how the Ravens could come up with more than the $8 million/year the Broncos already offered him. Add to that the fact that other teams are going after him now...it doesn't seem likely. Maybe they are trying to sell him on the fact that they are the defending Super Bowl champions...or maybe they heard that purple is his favorite color...
