Elvis Dumervil Will Sign His Tender ‘No Later Than Monday’, Report To Broncos Minicamp

The Broncos are conducting a minicamp this weekend and Elvis Dumervil, who has signed an injury waiver, will be there. By no later than Monday, he’ll sign his tender and officially become a member of the Broncos once again.

The Denver Post reports Dumervil “doesn’t want to bring hostility into what had been civil contract negotiations with the Broncos.”

However, the Post also reports the Broncos sent a letter to Dumervil indicating that if he did not sign his tender by June 15, they would drastically reduce his salary.

This wasn’t the collective bargaining rule stating clubs must notify such intentions to their unsigned restricted free agents by June 1. This was a second letter, meant specifically for Dumervil, sent earlier this week that issued a not-so-subtle sign-it-or-else threat.

So maybe they will avoid any contentious talk. The Broncos have already stated their desire to get Dumervil locked up to a long-term deal.

SB Nation’s Mile High Report is already buzzing about the news.
