Maybe they'll work on something longer term now with a lower salary to eat up the caps space they lost when Dumervil and his agent decided the 11th hour was amateur hour.
No matter how hard the agent tries to spin this as Broncos ineptness, it is crystal clear that he was not prepared to handle the situation for his client.

Nah, no chance he comes back to Denver unless he's going to sign for far below market value. His agent just cost the Broncos almost 5 million dollars, unless he wants to sign for 3 he's gone and he won't sign for that IMO.
I'd bet they try to sign Freeney or Osi for 4-5 mil short term. They already planned to eat the 5 mil if they had to cut Doom but they won't let him get a windfall with them and get egg on their face because of all this.

At 1 p.m. MDT, we were informed by Elvis’ representative that he declined our offer. We then prepared Elvis’ termination notice to officially file his release with the NFL office.
At approximately 1:25 p.m. MDT, however, we were informed that Elvis changed his mind and accepted the same contract we proposed nearly two-and-a-half hours earlier. Although we expressed our concern regarding the time constraints, we were assured that the signed documents would be submitted to us before the league’s waiver deadline.
We did not receive the documents from Elvis by the league’s deadline and were forced to release him shortly before 2 p.m. MDT.
