BamaBird6703 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 There is potential out there but it seems we are not moving on some targets in free agency. There have been several veteran cb's let go recently. No moves yet to upgrade out DT situation. What about our FS and SS? In the end I do trust that we'll do what's best for the franchise, but it's like pulling teeth watching other teams snap up so many solid vets. What do you think?

JayOzOne Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think there's a reason most of those players weren't re-signed by their own teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datfalcon Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 im not upset about a quiet FA, but if we trade for henderson on draft day ill be just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 There are sill some guys out there worth looking at. I'd probably take a look at Dawan landry and Shaun Cody at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formul8or Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think it's part of the long term plan. Cut down on our payroll by developing and drafting our own players more. Once we trim down our cap number over the next couple of seasons we can make a big FA splash or two each offseason.I also think they'll wait for some good players to be cut after the draft that we can pickup.

stoneweiser Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think TD will be busy on draft day trading away!!!! He has to have a trick up his sleeve!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet1984 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 What makes people think we will be trading out of the first round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsPhan4LIfe Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I would like to see a little more action out of our team this offseaon, but I think we still have a chance to have a great draft. Also if in fact TD does have some tricks up his sleeve..I think we could really come out with one of the best draft grades this year. We have a quite a number of picks and the draft seems very deep this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 It's kind of funny all this talk about inactivityIn 08 the Falcons signed 25 players total before the draftIn 09 the Falcons have signed 27 players total before the draft SO FAR. (with a month still to go) Yet they have been silent this year.(OH only 3 big names this year as opposed to 6 or 8 in 08 but 2 more player overall this year)In 08 the Falcons signed 27 players after the draft and before the 1st game of the season. (this does not count the draft of 11)So there was just as much activity AFTER the draft in 08 maybe that will be the case this year. But I really think TD will depend on the draft and just a few well chosen FAs this year and that some of those FAs will come after the draft and even after the cut downs from 80 to 53 players.They can only take 80 players to camp and they are fairly close to that number now there may have to be some cuts after the draft to get down to 80. EDIT: wrong here there are 68 now so 7 draftees will get to 75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurtyBirds02 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I am not upset. The only thing I am a little bitter about is not signing crowell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The only thing that upsets me is the people who run in here on a daily basis to start a thread about how we are being quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring It Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 TD knows what he is doingIndeed.And....................TD has Smitty by his side every day. Together, they know who and what is best for this team and will have an A-1 Defense on the field come July 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drk_nte Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The real question should be : Do we want to hear people complaining about being inactive now, or do we want to hear people complaining in week 6 about how the FA we signed are overpayed and "past their prime". It doesn't matter what happens or when, there will always be people complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfalc Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 To be honest we added a lot ofveteran depth last year, so we don't have many needs at all. I'd liketo have seen us add a cheap veteran Safety to back up Decoud and Coleman, and possibly a cheap veteran CB and/or DT to add to the rotation, but I'm not concerned.
