Elvis Dumervil: Hangs up cleats
Dumervil announced Thursday that he intends to retire from professional football, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic Denver reports.
The Louisville product's career began in Denver, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Since entering the league, Dumervil has racked up 105.5 career sacks, 63.5 of those coming while playing for the Broncos. Following six seasons with Denver, Dumervil also made a four-year stop in Baltimore before spending the 2017 campaign in San Francisco.

Elvis Dumervil: Headed for free agency
The 49ers informed Dumervil that he will not be retained for the 2018 season.
Dumervil joined the 49ers on a two-year, $8 million deal last offseason and produced 13 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 16 games. It's somewhat surprising the 49ers cut ties with the 34-year-old given his relatively small cap hit, but his absence will allow the team to give more playing time to its stockpile of first-round defensive linemen in Soloman Thomas (2017), DeForest Buckner (2016) and Arik Armstead (2015).

49ers' Elvis Dumervil: Sack in win
Dumervil recorded two solo tackles and one sack in Sunday's win over the Bears.
The veteran now has 10 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his first season by the Bay. What may be even more impressive is the fact that he reached Sunday's totals while only logging 14 snaps defensively, his second-lowest snap count of the season. He'll now turn his focus to Sunday's matchup with the Texans.

49ers' Elvis Dumervil: Logs season high in snaps
Dumervil brought up his sack total to 4.5 in Sunday's victory over the Giants.
Dumervil saw a season high 37 snaps due in large part to the absence of Solomon Thomas (knee). While the seasoned pass-rush specialist was able to notch another sack, it was his only tackle of the contest, and he only has seven total tackles this season to go along with his 4.5 sacks. Dumervil will continue only seeing work on passing downs, which limits his appeal in IDP formats that do not place high importance on accruing sacks.

49ers' Elvis Dumervil: Excelling as pass-rush specialist
Dumervil finished with three tackles (two solo) and 1.5 sacks in a 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Dumervil has now collected 3.5 sacks over his last two contests after failing to record a tackle or a sack over the previous three games. The veteran pass rusher has yet to eclipse the 30-snap mark in any game this season, which severely limits his tackle potential on a weekly basis. Dumervil's sack streak may be in jeopardy when the 49ers take on two of the better offensive tackles in the NFL -- Trent Williams and Morgan Moses -- next week in Washington.

49ers' Elvis Dumervil: Eclipses 100-sack mark
Dumervil recorded two sacks in Sunday's 18-15 overtime loss to the Cardinals, which served as his only tackles on the day.
The veteran pass rusher was only on the field for 33 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but he made them count, getting to Carson Palmer twice and reaching the impressive milestone of 100 sacks over his nine-year career. Dumervil will continue to be used exclusively as a pass-rush specialist, consequently limiting his tackle total and IDP value going forward.

49ers' Elvis Dumervil: Heading to the Bay Area
Dumervil signed a two-year contract Monday with the 49ers, Conor Orr of NFL.com reports.
After being let go by the Ravens in March, Dumervil will latch on with the rebuilding 49ers, providing a veteran presence to a young core of pass rushers. The 33-year-old appears likely to take on a rotational rusher role, but will also serve as a mentor to the likes of 2017 No. 3 overall pick Solomon Thomas, 2016 first-round pick DeForest Buckner and 2015 first-round pick Arik Armstead. Dumervil, a five-time Pro Bowler, has a prior relationship with new 49ers general manager John Lynch, who was his teammate early in his career with the Broncos.
