Ravens after Elvis Dumervil?
Updated: March 22, 2013
ESPN.com news services
The champion Baltimore Ravens have lost some big names this offseason, and they're trying to do something about it at the expense of the Denver Broncos.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the Ravens have made their interest known to free-agent defensive end Elvis Dumervil, who was cut by the Broncos in a fax snafu last week.
Dumervil does not have a visit to Baltimore scheduled, but GM Ozzie Newsome reached out to the player's agent immediately after he was cut, the Sun reported. That agent, Marty Magid, has since been fired by Dumervil after the necessary paperwork for his reworked contract didn't make it to the league office in time.
The Broncos have already made an offer to bring Dumervil back into the fold. He had agreed to reduce his salary from $12 million to $8 million for next season.
Dumervil signed a six-year, $61.5 million contract in 2010. He had 11 sacks last season, second on the team behind Von Miller. Dumervil led the league with 17 sacks in 2009.
Baltimore has released defensive back Bernard Pollard and guard Bobbie Williams, traded wide receiver Anquan Boldin to the 49ers, lost linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger in free agency and watched linebacker Ray Lewis and center Matt Birk retire. Safety Ed Reed has reportedly agreed to a three year contract with the Texans.

Elvis Dumervil reportedly has Miami Dolphins' interest
By Chris Wesseling

Published: March 22, 2013
Free agent Elvis Dumervil has offers on the table from the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens.
There soon could be a third legitimate suitor for the pass rusher's services.
The Miami Dolphins have "jumped into" the Dumervil sweepstakes, according to The Denver Post's Mike Klis.
It should be noted that there is no report of a third offer for Dumervil to consider. The Post previously reported that the Dolphins and Tennessee Titans have been in touch with Dumervil's agent. Klis acknowledges that the extent of Miami's interest is "unclear" at this juncture.
Don't expect the Broncos to up the ante as new teams enter the picture for Dumervil. They have veterans Dwight Freeney and John Abraham on speed dial as more cost-effective alternatives.

Elvis Dumervil 'wants to feel wanted' by next NFL team
By Marc Sessler
Around the League Writer
Published: March 23, 2013
With contract offers in hand from the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens, Elvis Dumervil is going to make his money.
But Mike Klis of The Denver Post reported Friday that the free-agent pass rusher isn't fixated on breaking the bank. A league source familiar with the situation told the newspaper that wherever Dumervil winds up, "he wants to feel wanted."
On the heels of the outrageous fax-machine blunder that triggered his release from the Broncos, Dumervil is still smarting after being fired by the team he's played for since 2006.
That's one reason why he hasn't hopped on Denver's revised contract proposal, according to the source, who said the Broncos have offered him more than the Ravens. At least one other team -- the Miami Dolphins, according to Klis -- also has jumped into the race.
The attention is nice, but the source said Dumervil planned to "pray and sleep on his decision Friday night."
After a wild week, it's time to ponder what comes next.

Elvis Dumervil agrees to contract with Baltimore Ravens
Ravens agreed to terms with DE/OLB Elvis Dumervil, formerly of the Broncos, on a five-year contract worth up to $35M
The Broncos will try to replace Dumervil with Freeney, the former Indianapolis Colt and Peyton Manning teammate. Manning, who is now the Broncos' quarterback, turned 37 on Sunday but losing Dumervil to the Ravens may not be among his wishes.
Perhaps Freeney will be a nice consolation gift. Dumervil, 29, is four years younger than Freeney. And in the past two seasons, Dumervil has been more productive, registering 20½ sacks to Freeney's 13½ sacks in that period.

Dumervil vs Gilbert 2x/yr. Look out, Ben. Hope Gilbert shows vast improvement this year.

This is one reason Chadman can feel positive about the Haley offense- having these sorts of pass rushers coming after Ben- if the Steelers can add a good pass catching RB option, they could exploit the Ravens over-aggressiveness.
If the Steelers were still under Arians, not sure that they could exploit the Ravens at all.The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?
