Elvis Dumervil a Free Agent? Due to some paperwork not being done by 4PM EST, Broncos pash rusher Elvis Dumervil has become a free agent. The team was forced to cut him at 3:59PM EST otherwise he would have been guaranteed a 13M dollar salary for 2013. He has previously agreed in principle to take a cut to 8m. He’s now a free agent and it’ll be interesting to see if some other team steps up with a fat offer to steal him away. It could be a very costly mistake for the Broncos defense. – 3/15
