sporkdevil Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 "Talk of holdout, retirement for Falcons C Todd McClure overblownBy Dan ParrApril 23, 2009While rumors spread that C Todd McClure boycotted the Falcons' voluntary workouts and is contemplating retirement in an effort to show frustration with his contract situation, sources say that is not the case. McClure, an 11th-year veteran, is not facing pressure to attend the workouts and isn't considering holding out of mandatory events, although he would like to re-work his deal. He signed a five-year, $10 million extension in 2006 and still has three years left on the contract. McClure, considered a team leader, is coming off one of the best seasons of his career and has started every game since '02. The Falcons would like to find an eventual replacement for McClure through the draft, but we hear they have no intention to replace him in the near future. GM Thomas Dimitroff is unlikely to give him a new contract within the year because of salary-cap constraints, but he could re-address the situation in '10."Good to hear!

sporkdevil Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Congrats on the IU law school. I got into Bloomington for my MBA, class of 2011.Thanks. Congrats on their MBA program, it's supposed to be great. Sweet little area. I leave in about two months, so I'm excited. I was thinking about taking the GMAT to see about a joint degree. I think if I lived through the LSAT, I could manage the GMAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCSBDirtyBird Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Good read, thanks! Its good to hear McClure will be back. If he was going to leave, one of the first 3 round picks would have to be a Center. Hopefully now we can address LB, S, and NT in that order.

Jedi-Falcon Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Dont believe everything you read. McClure is pissed and wants a new contract. This will probably be his final season with the Falcons.But that's OK because Centers are Dime-A-Dozen. He is easily replace-able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
