If he does so, guys like Massaquoi and Matthews will become much more productive. I doubt Sidbury has any future with us.

I agree with Beef that we should find our RG in free agency. An experienced Master Blaster next to Konz would be the final piece to a dominating offense.

In order to add any free agents, the Falcons will need to shed contracts. Who do you guys view as the best drops to gain cap space? Here are my suggestions:

Turner: Pretty obvious. No need for explanation.

McClure: His contract is done, so this is not a drop, but will reresent a cap decision.

Gonzalez: I propose he sit out for most of the year. I would leave cap space to sign him during the season.

Abraham: Yeah, I know, he is our only pass rusher. The trouble is that he is 34, often-injured and a 4-3 DE. He can not be expected to play OLB much. Why I like and respect the man, I think that it is better to let players go a year too early than a year too late. (I said the same thing about Turner last off-season).

I think we'll keep Abraham, We cant afford to lose him, TG, McClure and Turner are easy to replace with, but we havent have luck with drafting and signing DEs.

Who else we would have if we cut Abe? Beerman, Mathews, Sidburry, and Massaquoi??? thats a joke of DEs right there.
