am I the only one who knew we never had a shot a Elvis?

nope

But I'm surprised he didn't bolt to a team that would pay him.

ETA: His restructure wasn't that bad so I don't blame him for staying.

@AlbertBreer: My understanding is Elvis Dumervil agreed to cut his base salary from $12 million to $8 million for 2013.

Way more than we could have given anyway

Elvis Dumervil getting 8 million a year, when considering what all other free agent defensive ends were paid this offseason, is considered a win for him in my book. We cleared 4 million off his original deal, which was high at 12 million, and it worked out well for both sides.

I'd rather have him right now than Dwight Freeney. He's younger and more productive. However, we may still be after Freeney. Or we may not, which would make sense with him visiting the New England Patriots today.
