Peter King implies Dumervil "longshot" but on radar...

Peter King ?@SI_PeterKing
Dumervil odds, courtesy Kingbook: Den 2-1, Bal 7-2, Pit 8-1, N.O. 15-1, Field 5-1.


Not really saying too much, but interesting that he didn't include us in the field. Obviously unclear if he's heard something or just guessing based on fit.

So we have the lowest odds of any team in the NFL?

No, greater than each of the 28 teams in the field, lowest of the 4 teams he singled out.

I'm pretty sure the way he wrote it the field has greater odds than us

Good backup. I just dont see him signing a contract to back up one of the elite QB. Unless he wants to chase a ring and if thats the case Dont want.

I think we simply don't have the money for both. Getting one of them would be a win though.

Yeah, 28 teams COMBINED have better odds, not individual teams.

Denver at 2-1 is shocking to me, as a Broncos' fan...

Nothing would surprise me at this point, though. I thought he was gone for sure. I'd definitely love to have him back to bring back our fierce pass rush. One of the best in the league now.

Yes, but the field is 28 teams.

Been a while since I took probability, and the fact that he listed us with 3 other teams makes it clear that he considers us more likely, but:

28 teams in field split evenly, then 5:1 (or 1/6) = (1/28) * (1/6) = .5% chance of signing him for each of those teams.

Saints = (1/16) = 6.25% chance.

Well there is my betting/math lesson for the day. Still don't doubt he pulled those figures our his arse.

Well it's peter king and it says KingBook so I imagine it is him creating his own odds

But who knows.
