Not everything is smooth sailing after the signing of Peyton Manning…

Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm in Florida.

Court records show the 28-year-old is facing the third-degree felony charge in Miami-Dade County. Det. Vivian Hernandez said Dumervil and another man were arrested Saturday in Miami Beach, but that no further details were immediately available.

A spokesman for the Denver Broncos said that the team is aware of the matter and continuing to gather facts.

Dumervil is a Miami native and one of the Broncos’ top defensive players.

Dumvervil led the NFL in sacks in 2009 with a club-record 17. But he missed all of 2010 with a torn pectoral muscle and was hampered last season by a nagging shoulder injury, followed by an ankle ailment. Still, he finished the year with 9½ sacks and 42 tackles, and made the Pro Bowl team.

Dumervil’s attorney, Harvey Steinberg, said he expects authorities to clear his client after they conclude their investigation.
