The Denver Broncos may be shopping defensive end Elvis Dumervil according to Mike Klis of denverpost.com.
Dumervil is scheduled to make $12 million in 2013 and that salary becomes fully guaranteed if he remains with the team by next Saturday. The Broncos want Dumervil to agree to a pay cut but he has thus far refused to do so.
Dumervil is an excellent player but is 29 and his production has not kept up with his escalating salary the past two seasons, primarily due to injury. The Broncos are reportedly investigating whether free agent defenders such as Dwight Freeney, Osi Umenyiora, or Michael Bennett migt offer more\the same bang for fewer bucks.
