The Denver Broncos have hammered out a new contract with Pro Bowl outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil tonight, the team announced
Dumervil received a five-year extension with $43.1 million in guaranteed money, a league source confirmed. Dumervil's deal, which was negotiated by Gary Wichard, is worth a total of $61.5 million.
Per a league source, Dumervil's professionalism helped the deal get done because he didn't complain about his status as a restricted free agent.
Last year, Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs signed a six-year, $62.5 million deal. That deal included $38 million in guaranteed money and was also negotiated by Wichard.
“I am pleased to announce the extension of Elvis Dumervil’s contract with the Denver Broncos,” general manager Brian Xanders said. “He has established himself as one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers, and he’s an important part of the foundation we are building with this team. We are excited to have him as an integral part of the Broncos well into the future.”
Dumervil led the NFL with a franchise-record 17 sacks last season.
An undersized pass rusher from Louisville, Dumervil has recorded 43 career sacks since being drafted in the fourth round out of Louisville in 2006.
"We are thrilled to have agreed to terms with Elvis Dumervil on a contract extension,” coach Josh McDaniels said. “Elvis is a very talented player who will help lead our defense and is also an outstanding person and teammate. The way he has handled this lengthy negotiation this offseason is a great example of the type of player and person we want on our team. We look forward to Elvis’ impact for many years to come.”
In 61 career games for the Broncos, Dumervil has totaled 168 tackles, 11 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries, 10 pass deflections and one interception.

Sterling sliver jewelry, particularly bracelets, is a staple of fashionable women everywhere. This type of pandora beads is durable yet so beautiful. The versatility is outstanding; it goes with every outfit whether with jeans or with a designer gown. For instance, movie star Sandra Bullock wore a silver cuff bracelet to the 2009 MTV Movie Awards in May 2009. A silver cuff bracelet makes an audacious statement, yet it is lightweight and is flexible so that it can fit a variety of wrist sizes. Another popular type of bracelets is the silver charm bracelet. There are many shapes and designs for the charms that are attached to the bracelet.

This stuff happens, didn't cause Terrell Davis to retire, as that actually was the knee injury he sustained while tackling a Jet on an INT - that being said he was always and the donkeys cognizant of this issue with Daivs as well...migraines and nuerological problems are real for damn sure and don't make an NFL players life any easier - and seriously "karma" - give it a rest already - Favre's not the devil, hasn't been sighted hanging with Lucifer or sacrificying any virgins - well lately anyway - that was the "before PG Favre" that's marketed for mass consumption...
