If his price came down closer to where Bennett and these other guys are going then I imagine we'd at least meet w him.

 

Hello, Elvis. Meet Cam. Cam, Elvis.

 

Get it done.

 

Sign Dumervil and fill out the rest in the draft. :hump:

 

I'm not sure things would line up properly with Dumervil. He's not really an option as an every down defender, and he'd have to be priced correctly.

The market for edge rushers appears pretty depressed, some of the other guys still on the market might be better deals financially and in terms of roster building.

 

Elvis is a Miami native, so that may play into it.

 

He's def not. He's awful against the run.

 

I dunno guys, I think right before our very eyes we're starting to be viewed as a first class organization again.

 

Not until you do it on the field. It means nothing until you win meaningful and big games.

What was the last big game we won?

I'm hopeful but scared. Buying a championship is not the way it has historically been done in the NFL

 

Seattle.

 

I didn't say winner, I said first class organization, as in respectable in how we carry ourselves and that players are wanting to come here.

 

Now go kill the QB.

 

I think Dumervil and his agent are looking at all the money the Dolphins have been spending in free agency and they wouldn't mind getting a huge contract from the Dolphins. Unfortunately for Dumervil, the Dolphins don't have the money left over to give him the type of dollars he is looking for in free agency. I think Ireland is more interested in saving what is left of the cap space to sign Long or another offensive lineman and perhaps another CB.

I think when all is said and done, the Broncos and Dumervil will figure out a way to resolve their money issues and he will still be a Bronco when the 2013 season rolls around.

 

Stupid comment of the day award goes to you. :no:

If his price came down to that every team would meet with him.

 

Unsure of fit, I think he plays same position as Wake.

 

Dumervil actually plays on the right side to my recollection.

 

I actually agree with Armando that we simply can't pay this guy more than Wake. Not on principle and not from a value standpoint.

He was minutes away from re-structuring at $8mil, and that will be the starting point in negotiations.

 

Love his game...but no.

We have other needs and I don't like this sort of sense that we are Sam's for FA's.

 

Isn't their defense essentially a 3-4 though? I mean it's a 4-3 on paper but...

 

You play in a division with Tom Brady... Get to a second and 8 or third and long and Dumervil can come into pass rush situations and flat out end drives for Miami. Even if you draft Werner you can have Werner start at RE, Wake at LE, Dumervil as your third guy.

The Giants made it work why can't Miami? Hell the formula for beating N.E. was provided by those guys, so why not copy it if you have the chance?

 

Remember when some player tweeted that no one wanted to play for the dolphins?

 

Its only about the money if the players don't produce on the field. Most times in the past you would not see the type of gut we have in quality this year. Jeff has spent money to get younger and bring in speed where needed, we aren't talking bad apples for big money, I don't see one guy out of the whole group who will be a problem child.

They have played the money game to profection IMV and if handled properly, by bringing Wake on board and pointing out to him it makes the team better I could see Elvis with us this season.

 

I think it would be pretty hard to spin signing Dumervil as anything other than a win IF you think you have an answer at LT. Losing Big Jake to get Elvis could hurt Tannehill's development.

 

I don't know, but he's played RE before, because back when they really did switch to a true 3-4 (not what they are currently running), I remember a big concern over whether Dumervil could make the transition or not.

 

Yea, I only sign Dumervil if we lose Jake or in addition to Jake.

 

Ryan Clark.

I guess his former teammate, Mike Wallace, didn't get that memo.

 

I'm a firm believer that the term Dream Team does not ever apply to football. Signing Dumerville however, could give us a pass rush...the likes of which had carried teams to Superbowl victories. Strahan and Tuck's Giants, J Peezy's Steelers...If our front 7 stayed healthy down the stretch, and RT merely took the next step, it could be a devastating combo.

Or not. What the hell do I know.

 

lol

 

If the pass rush doesn't improve Tom Brady is going to tear this team apart until the day he retires.

How much money was left on Dumervil's contract?

 

Dumervil's been a 3-4 OLB and a 4-3 DE, and generally speaking I think he's been a guy to follow the weak side of the formation. He's generally been pretty equally productive left or right.

 

I guarantee you Abraham and Freeney are asking for half the price Dumervil thinks he's worth.

Wake is our Tuck. Strahan was 37 when he won it all.

 

Didn't the Phins hold Brady to his lowest output last year?

 

TBH, we need more DT's who can push the pocket, so Usi would make more sense as he can line up inside or outside.

Unless Elvis is willing to sign for below market he just does not do what we really need imo.

 

284 with 2 TDs is nothing to brag about. We've seen it on multiple occasions, the guy can get rattled by pressure.

If you've got an elite pass rusher on both ends, Odrick a very strong nickel DT, and Starks coming in from the nose you've got tremendous problems as a quarterback.

We've got Starks and Odrick to rush the quarterback and finding a pass rush DT in the later round isn't all that difficult.

 

He is using us and this spending spree to drive his price up, he doesn't want to come here. He wants to stay in Denver with as much money as he can get, he is using us to get more.

 

Except no one has a lot to spend now. The teams who had a lot of cap room (like us) have all made signings which significantly cut into their cap room.

 

Exactly, that is why he wants to come to a big spending team. He wants to be paid like an every down player, but he can't stop the run to save his life, or his 8 mil contract. He is using us to get as much as he can from the Broncos IMO.

 

Who says he'll get the 8m? It's about having the best offer. The Broncos already burnt 4.6m by cutting him, there's a good chance that Miami can get him for a lesser offer.

 

im sure ireland will low ball him.
