Due to some paperwork not being done by 4PM EST, Broncos pash rusher Elvis Dumervil has become a free agent. The team was forced to cut him at 3:59PM EST otherwise he would have been guaranteed a 13M dollar salary for 2013. He has previously agreed in principle to take a cut to 8m. He's now a free agent and it'll be interesting to see if some other team steps up with a fat offer to steal him away. It could be a very costly mistake for the Broncos defense. - 3/15

Thursday Week 5 NFL Game Preview and Prediction:
Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams Pick (8:20PM EST)
Monday NFL Notes: Texans RB Arian Foster is on pace for 412 carries. Coach Gary Kubiak says "he can handle it." Jets WR Santonio Holmes left Sunday's game with a foot injury and will likely miss multiple weeks. Packers WR Greg Jennings left Sunday's game after reinjuring his groin. Detroit Lions DE Cliff Avril left Sunday's game with what appeared to be a back strain. Titans QB Jake Locker had his shoulder pop out of place after being sacked in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. Texas. Bears RB Matt Forte is expected to start Monday night vs. Dallas. The Chiefs are losing confidence in QB Matt Cassel. He's on pace for a whopping 40 turnovers! Jags WR Laurent Robinson suffered a concussion and is OUT for week 5. Jets coaches say they're sticking with Mark Sanchez as their starter, despite his poor performance vs. the Niners. Many thought that NYG RB Andre Brown would receive more action due to his great Week 3 perforance. He only got 9 snaps compared to Bradshaw's 58. It's safe to say that Bradshaw's job is safe. NYG WR Hakeem Nicks knee isn't getting any better which makes him doubtful for their next game. Colts Coach Chuck Pagano has been diagnosed with Leukemia and will be away from the team indefinitely.
