NFL 2013 Off-season discussion thread

I just learned who's to blame for this SNAFU between Dumervill & the Broncos,it's ALL Kinko's fault. From what little I've read on the Broncos' fan forum,some don't understand why Dumervill was in Miami when he should have been in Denver taking care of business. They also don't understand why Dumervill,or his agent,used Kinko's to fax the renegotiated contract,if the Kinko's part of the story is true. Back to Dumervill being in Miami,Miami hmmmmmmmm,Rey.......did YOU sabotage the Kinko's fax machine so that Dumervill would sign with the Dolphins?

IMO this was a major gaffe on the part of Elway & the Broncos.I don't think that Elway has any concept of the importance of having a good defense. Last year the Broncos defense was Von Miller,Elvis Dumervill,& 9 walking stiffs(& that would INCLUDE Champ Bailey). If this blows up in the Broncos' face,John Elway will be tarred,feathered,& run out of town on a rail. If I was Dumervill,the Broncos & Elway would be the LAST time I'd talk to about signing/resigning with. you can talk about saving money,cap space,etc. all you want,but if Elway has created a hole in the Bronco's defense that cannot be filled after cutting Dumervill,the Broncos' fans will not be so forgiving,especially if Wes Welker turns out to be a flop.

Interesting article on the subject.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/15/everyone-deserves-blame-for-dumervil-debacle/

What, they don't use EMAIL for these type of things ?

What happens if the phone line goes down where the fax is ?

Does Dumervill Live in Miami by chance (Family wise) ?

That's what I understand,that he has family in Miami.

This is just a mess all around. Not knowing what he'll command in the free agent market,he should shop around first & then go back to Denver to see what they'd want to pay him. He may not get an $8 million dollar contract,& certainly not a $12 million dollar contract,but someone will want to pay him top dollar to play with them. Personally,I don't think that Elway has any respect for the defensive side of the ball. If Dumervill does go to another team,will that force them to have to sign Dwight Freeney,& will that force them to have to pay the money that the Broncos hoped to save with Dumervill being cut or resigned to a lower contract? Someone explain to me the "law of economics" here,because I do believe that Elway just screwed the Broncos on this whole thing.

Hmmm,
That begs the question ...

More MONEY playing on a LOSING team, or a bit less and a chance to WIN it ALL every year ?

I'll take less and have more to play for each year.
Playing on a team that potentially is out of the chance by week 12 has to be awfully tough to play for at the end of the season.

You KNOW AD will be toting the ball a good portion of the day.

He's 30, and no team is winning it all every year.

Geesh,didn't the Vikings make the playoffs last year?They also have a pretty good RB.

Newsflash: The NFL is a business, for the teams and the players. Plus, Jennings already has a ring.

Not sure what GB was offering, but $18M guaranteed is probably considerably more than their best offer.

I gotta say, hot air balloons scare me....

NFL free agent Donte Stallworth was hospitalized Saturday with serious burns after the hot air balloon carrying him and two other people crashed into power lines, his agent said. The 10-year NFL veteran won't suffer any permanent damage from the accident in Homestead, said Drew Rosenhaus, Stallworth's agent.

Donte' Stallworth in stable condition

Haven't heard nothing yet on Fitzpatrick on being released

 

[Teehar]

The Bills did release Fitzpatrick.Tarvaris Jackson is currently the number 1,chances are they will draft a qb in the draft.

Elvis Dumervil fires agent after contract fax debacle, wants to stay in Denver
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...gent-contract-fax-debacle-142035922--nfl.html

Here's hoping that both parties can work this out & Dumervil stays a Bronco. Also,contrary to my accusation that Elway doesn't care about the defensive side of the team,it appears that the Broncos HAVE indeed been strengthening their defense. Hopefully they'll also resign Dumervil.

IF Elvis's Agent really was at fault and he was fired over this ....
I'm guessing that he will be re signing with them shortly.
