The Denver Broncos are ready to move on from DE Elvis Dumervil just a day after they thought they were keeping him:

Money-wise, this makes sense. We’ll see if it holds RT @thegarymiller An NFL source told me the Broncos are moving on without Elvis Dumervil

FOXSports.com’s Alex Marvez reports the Cleveland Browns hosted free-agent cornerback Brent Grimes this week. The former Atlanta Falcons cornerback missed last season with a torn Achilles’ tendon, but made 28 starts for Atlanta over the prior two seasons.

UPDATE 5:10 PM   It’s now official: The New England Patriots have released receiver Brandon Lloyd:

  No doubt, he’s the best free agent receiver on the market now, and should be signed fairly quickly one he starts taking visits:

After yesterday’s contract debacle, free agent Elvis Dumervil has fired his agent, and is now being targeted by the Baltimore Ravens:

Elvis Dumervil is firmly on the Ravens’ radar and they hope to meet with him next week, per a league source.
