Dumervil posted a thank you on Twitter in which he thanked the Denver Broncos organization and his former teammates, in addition to the Ravens, who he played with after Denver.

Dumervil was on the roster when the Broncos drafted Von Miller back in 2011, and Miller and Dumervil became known as "Doom and Gloom" to opposing quarterbacks who they often sacked.
