The Denver Broncos have announced that their Pro Bowl outside linebacker, Elvis Dumervil has signed his 1-year tender. Signing the tender means that Dumervil will be back with the Broncos through the 2010 season and will make $3.168 million. For Broncos fans this is not a huge surprise, but it is definitely good news. Anytime a great player wants a big contract and the team is not willing to offer one (Brandon Marshall) it can be a crazy time. So at least for one more season Broncos fans can be excited to have the services of one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

My question is now that Dumervil has signed, what will happen with him? Will he have another huge season and then test the free agent market next year? Will he quietly sign an extension with the Broncos and avoid making headlines? Will the Broncos trade him for future draft picks? It will be interesting to see what happens with Dumervil after the 2010 season. The fact that the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) runs out after this season makes the Dumervil situation even more of a question mark. If a new agreement is signed the Broncos will most likely offer Dumervil a long term extension. If there is no new CBA reached, the Broncos will likely avoid adding to the payroll since there would not be a season in 2011.
