The Broncos second best pass rusher has been released due to his agent not faxing his restructured deal to NFL headquarters before the 2PM mountain time deadline. Reportedly Doom and the Broncos front office agreed to a new restructured deal that would bring his cap hit down from 12 million to 8 million this year. However Dooms agent did not file the deal on time due to whatever reason.
According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, the deal was agreed to and signed at 1:25 which gave Dooms agent 35 minutes to fax the paperwork. He is the only NFL player represented by this agent so it was not like he had 20 other players to take care of too. I do not understand how incompetent you have to be to not file paper work. Doom will lose a lot of money due to this and he should be able to sue his agent to recoup his losses.
The Broncos now have 4 million in dead money because of this deal which hurts their ability to sign any more free agents.
They might be able to get Doom back, but he will not be receiving the 8 million a year that he would have gotten if his agent had his head screwed on straight.
I feel for Doom and the predicament he now finds himself in. I really hope the Broncos will be able to resign him after all of this blows over
