UPDATE: According to the Denver Post, Elvis Dumervil’s agent Marty Magid has said that the Denver Broncos have not responded to the restructuring proposal he gave them on Friday.
“Elvis has been working out, he’s healthy, he feels great,” Magid said. “He wants to stay with the Broncos. Right now, we’re waiting to hear back from them.”
This has lead to widespread speculation that Dumervil may be released or traded.

Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil is set to make $12 million next season, so it comes as no surprise that the team is looking to restructure his contract to a number that’s more cap friendly. What is surprising, is that Dumervil hasn’t closed the door on the idea.
“They informed us they want to do a restructure,” Magid said during a phone interview. “I’m not classifying this as a pay cut. I’m going ahead with this being a restructure. If we can meet on some common ground, there’s a potential we can get it done. If we can’t, they’ll have to make a decision. But we’re definitely in good faith going to try to negotiate this out.
“Elvis wants to return as a Bronco if it all possible, and that’s what we’re trying to do — make the client happy and try to appease the team.”
