Falcons: Good Season Guys

[Beef]

Releasing Edwards saved several million. And I doubt we re-sign Grimes, which was $10m. The cap goes up a little and were at least $14 million under it before we start subtracting out FA's.

My Papa passed 1-year ago today.

One things for sure. The Madden sales will go up in Atlanta this week. Replay time.

I kind of doubt we give Grimes a huge contract too, why? McClain proved hes a good nickel back and Grimes gets hurt all the time, he's damaged goods. It would be easier dropping him then to pay and him get hurt again.

So sorry for your past loss, and wish you better feelings as the days pass.

If Tony does retire does that mean we save like 7 millions on caps? I swear we signed him a 3 year contract in 2011.

I dont agree with "this is the best Falcons team ever". We have many holes to fill in both side of the ball.
Offensively:

Turner is old, and slow - We need to draft a mid to late round power-RB that can go with Jquizz.
TG- If he retires it will be a very sad day for Falcons fan, but on the bright side we can draft and groom a TE like Graham and Gronkowki.. can you imagine what Matt Ryan would do with JJ,RW, and a speedy-TE???
Draft or sign a RG, I have a feeling we're going to slide Konz to center, than draft or sign a RG.

Defensively:
DE and DE and DE!!! we neeed some pass rush!! the Ray Edwards experiment did not work out, so now TD needs to work his magic this time and bring a much needed DE to our team. But i dont think we're that bad as we make it to be, Yes we do have none after JA55 but i believe if we bring in a Dominating DE whether through draft of FAs, it will make our line a whole lot better. Kroy and Mathews are nice compliment to to JA55 and another dominating DE.

DT- Jelly is a no show but he made a few nice plays over the year. I think we can sign him to a cheap contract.
Peter and Walker did a nice job, nothing spectacular but not horrible either. Babaneux had a great year, but he's up there in the age, so we need to find a replacement.
If we can find a BIG DT to plug up the hole then i think our D will be greatly improve.

No we didn't. It was a 1-year contract for $7M. There was actually some talk about him going back to the Chiefs and having a farewell season with them but he put a quick end to those rumors by saying that he's either playing for the Falcons in 2013 or not playing at all.
