Dumervil Signs Extension!

The Broncos extended All-Pro Linebacker Elvis Dumervil's contract on Friday. The two sides agreed to five-year, $58.3 million extension. This is obviously very good news on multiple fronts. First, the Broncos kept one of the their best players in the fold, and extended a contract to one of our most important playmakers on defense. Also, this avoids any type of possible holdout by Dumervil when training camp gets going next month. Consequently, this extension proves that Head Coach Josh McDaniels will reward the guys that he likes and that he wants on this team. Dumervil said and did all the right things in the offseason, unlike Brandon Marshall last year, and McDaniels stated that he wanted to keep Dumervil a Bronco for a long, long time. Well, McDaniels kept to his word, and the Broncos have re-upped one of their best players and best character guys on the team. It sends this message to the rest of the players: If you buy in the Denver Bronco Way, then you will be rewarded nicely. The move also creates some trust between the players and management. Good day for the Broncos!
