Free Agents - Who Do You Sign, Who Do You Release
Here's the most up to date list of free agents I could find. Let me know if I missed anyone. Of these players, who do you think the Falcons should resign?

Antoine Smith - RB - RFA
Michael Palmer - TE - RFA
Vance Walker - DT - RFA
Brent Grimes - CB - UFA
Chris Redman - QB - UFA
Curtis Lofton - LB - UFA
Eric Weems - WR - UFA
Harry Douglas - WR - UFA
James Sanders - S - UFA
Jason Snelling - RB - UFA
Joe Zelenka - LS - UFA
John Abraham - DE - UFA
Kelvin Hayden - CB - UFA
Kirk Chambers - G - UFA
Kroy Biermann - LB - UFA
Mike Cox - FB - UFA
Thomas DeCoud - S - UFA
Todd McClure - C - UFA

Personally, I say we should keep Grimes, Lofton, Douglas, Snelling, Zelenka, Abraham and Biermann, but let everyone else go.

My thoughts exactly. But...I'm going to go Off topic just a little bit. Question...How many years does Peria Jerry have on his contract? Because it's very clear, Jerry needs to go. He hasn't done shit here. As a matter fact, did Jerry even play this season? lol

Jerry's contract runs out after the 2013 season.
Sam Baker will be in the last season of his deal, but he's scheduled to make $1.9 million. o.O

I like keeping Sanders as a starter and moving on from DeCoud and looking to get a new Young FS who can come of age under a decent players tutelage. I just don't think we are getting the serious player we hoped for in DeCoud. If he was like Spoon, he could afford to good around and have a laugh. But when you getting your job done is a once in a while occurrence you have to look at that and say where do we go from here.

No prob, I found this site that has most of the current players contracts. Some are not up to date (Tony G's is missing), but most of the numbers appear spot on.

I'm resigning those guys, and moving on from the likes of Thomas DeCoud. Also, I think I am willing to put an asterisk next to Abraham. He's getting older now, and it's clear he hasn't got that much left in the tank. (Like any player at his age, especially with nagging neck issues) So if he doesn't come for a little bit of a bargained price, I wouldn't be upset letting him walk.

I'm not breaking the bank for either Grimes or Abe, which likely means they're gone. DeCoud is gone, period. The only priority signing I see is Lofton, maybe Douglas, since he will probably come pretty cheap.
