Steelers also interested in Elvis Dumervil

The Baltimore Ravens, who hope to meet with Dumervil later this week after the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix, could face competition for the Pro Bowl defender from within their own division, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports.

The Ravens' biggest rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, are also interested in Dumervil after cutting outside linebacker James Harrison as a salary-cap casualty prior to the free agent signing period, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

Structuring a contract high enough for Dumervil could be tough for either team because of tight salary-cap situations, but teams can always make adjustments to their roster by cutting players if they need to make room for an elite player.

The New England Patriots* and the Tennessee Titans are two other teams that have expressed interest in Dumervil since he became a free agent.

Can we really afford this guy?

don't know but he's a pretty damn good defensive player. f:)k.

I would take him in a heart beat but it will never happen.

I always looked at him and saw Harrison. To bad we can't afford him.

Of course I'd love to get Dumervil. But I'm not even going to ponder it unless he's willing to play for practically nothing and accept tickets to a Pirates game as a signing bonus.
