NO CONTRACT DISPUTE.
Asked about Dumervil's contract status at his predraft news conference, this is what McDaniels said:
"I know that is a frustrating situation for all of us. We are looking at a place right now in the league where there is some uncertainty for us going forward. I think that is holding up some things on a lot of teams and in a lot of organizations. I think that is part of the whole entire thing.
"We are thrilled with Elvis Dumervil's season last year and excited to have him back and looking forward to his production continuing on for years. As of right now, I know he is working hard in Miami, he stays in touch with Wink (defensive coordinator Don Martindale) and I think we will all be excited when he is back. It is what it is, and other than that, there isn't much to talk about."
To quote McDaniels himself - Krieger: It's time to show Elvis the money - The Denver Post
It's a contract dispute. He signed a medical waiver to participate in offseason on the field stuff because he's a good guy. Or are you going to argue semantics? If so feel free to find another article that says there's no dispute - elvis dumervil dispute - Google Search
The Oakland Raiders have filed a grievance against former quarterback JaMarcus Russell(notes) seeking repayment of $9.55 million, the team confirmed Thursday.
The grievance is based on the contention by the Raiders that the contract was changed at one point during Russell's three-year stint with the organization and that he's not allowed to keep all of the money he had collected prior to his May 7 release. Russell, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft, was guaranteed $32 million as part of a six-year contract reportedly worth $68 million.
Good luck with that one Al

Part of the guaranteed $32 million was originally in the form of salary advances for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons. A portion of those salaries is in question, according to the grievance....
I don't know....from the same article...

LOL yeah according to the grievance...it's AL's grievance! In fact, he should change his name to Al Grievance! Is there anyone who leaves the Raiders and DOESN'T get sued?
Sandra
There have been PLENTY that have been fired AND left that have not been sued...

Maybe not sued, but Al doesn't pay up what they are owed either!! Until he gets sued.
Aye.
Raiders don't have a case unless there was discipline involved that could bring contracted money into question. I am not aware of any, you can't simply cut a player than file to have the rest of their guaranteed money revoked unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Not saying the Raiders/Al Davis is/was in the right....but remember, there are times that alot of the disciplinary stuff happens behind closed doors that many folks do not know about.
This year's Eric Mangini fundamentals camp for kids is this Saturday 6/5, again in Hartford, CT. I'll be there as a volunteer field official for the afternoon's 7-on-7 competitions.
I wonder if he has changed the mode of transportation for his players that will be attending?? Last year coach made them take a bus while he flew to CT.....

It was a bonding experience. It's about time we stomp pampering these players.![]()
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The story of the day as the New England Patriots took part in organized team activities Wednesday was the presence of receiver Wes Welker on the practice field.
Welker, who is recovering from February surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, wore a brace over the knee and took part in drills early in the session. Welker was seen running routes at about 75 percent speed as the practice was held at high tempo but was not at a full-speed pace..
Sure, a 12 hour bus ride without the coach is a great way for them to come together on how much they hate him...It was a bonding experience. It's about time we stomp pampering these players.![]()
