Ravens, Elvis Dumervil agree to contract

Defensive end Elvis Dumervil spurned the Denver Broncos and accepted a five-year offer to join the Baltimore Ravens, the team has announced.


Dumervil’s contract is worth up to $35 million, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He receives a $1 million base salary in 2013, along with a $7.5 million signing bonus. His contract also includes a $3.5 million injury guarantee, bringing the total of guaranteed money to $12 million.

Dumervil was poised to re-sign with the Broncos recently, but the deal was never completed due to a blunder by the defensive end’s former agent. While he was an end in Denver, Dumervil will now become an outside linebacker with the Ravens and their 3-4 defensive scheme. The 29-year-old will help replace linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe – who were lost to free agency – and Ray Lewis – who retired after the 2012 season.
