autigerfan Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Dominique Foxworth doesn't play for us anymore.Fixed. Other than the typo, what does everyone think? I think this is fairly realistic and would put us in good position in the NFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensDirtyBird Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) snelling can play fullback as well. and add clabo in as well with FA resignings. looks good though Edited May 4, 2011 by AthensDirtyBird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigerfan Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Would love to keep Clabo, don't think it's going to happen though. I think TD is resigned the the fact that we will be moving forward at RT (The news that Carimi would have been the pick had we stayed put gives this more weight). I envision a tackle needy team opening up their wallet for Clabo (Philly, San Diego). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalcsForLife Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I like Durant quite a bit...he was one of my favorite players in that draft class. Even though he had a down year I doubt he comes that cheap. I would like to have him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachx Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) No way both Clabo and Dahl walk in FA. I think your really reaching here.That right side has been the O-Line's strength for years now. If both Dahl and Clabo were walking in free agency then TD would not have waited until his last 7th Round pick to take OL.I doubt both Peterson and Nichols are let go too. At least one of them stay. I think they Falcons really like Peterson's veteran influence in the locker-room and Nichols is steady as they come. I can see Nichols walking if a team gives him starters money but I think Peterson is back for sure to mentor Spoon and Dent.

This is the perfect sitaution for him to increase his value for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Nichols walking if a team gives him starters money but I think Peterson is back for sure to mentor Spoon and Dent.Best case we keep 2/3 offensive line starters, worst case 1/3. I reasoned 1/3 due to the big money spent on Edwards. It makes more sense to committ big money to Blalock than Dahl due to his youth and the fact that he has gotten better each year in the league. Dahl has likely reached his ceiling and could be a decending player over the next few seasons. I like Clabo but think he will command too much as a free agent.

JOEinPHX Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) What's the final 8 rule state?This tends to be overlooked, doesn't it? The one saving grace of that first-round loss is that it will allow the Falcons to navigate in the FA market, if and when it develops. On the other hand, if you re-sign Grimes and Clabo at the very least (and I'd call that the very least that should be done), pick up Edwards, and add in the Julio Jones contract, the cap ceiling may be met. The Falcons are at $102M with the current roster, the last capped year (2009) cap was $130M."Final 8" rule in 2010.The rule will restrict the final eight teams in the playoffs from signing free agents. The final four teams shall not be permitted to negotiate and sign any unrestricted free agent to a player contract except for players who acquired their status by being cut or were on the final four team when their contract expired.Playoff teams five thru eight get a break to sign one player with a salary of $4,925,000 or more and any number of players with a first-year salary of no more than $3,275,000 and an annual increase of no more than 30 percent in the following years.There is a mechanism to permit the final eight teams to sign an unrestricted free agent for each one of their own unrestricted free agents who sign with another club as long as they don't spend more than what their own lost player received from his new club.

I'm more of a Jenkins defender than a Jenkins fan. I've always found myself defending Falcons that get unjust criticism. Jenk Man, Dan Reeves, Fin, Vick, Brooking, Duckett, McClure, the list goes on. Still hate the rep system but I've come to accept the fact that it ain't goin nowhere. I just wish they would start showing who negs you.

autigerfan Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I think both of these guys are in line for a lot bigger contracts in this FA market.I believe the lockout actually hurts this year's FA crop because many teams have already addressed their primary needs in the draft. I look for teams on the cusp of a Superbowl (ala us) to be the most active in free agency this year. Some players may be willing to accept a shorter term deal in a good situation to increase their value as a free agent next year. (see Durant).

autigerfan Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I don't see Blalock getting that big of a contract..Blalock is a solid guard on the rise. The last time I checked, the going rate for such a player was about 7-8M per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBorBust Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 If we decide not to go after Ray Edwards, I think we should take a look at Raheem Brock http://www.nfl.com/players/raheembrock/profile?id=BRO044574his stats are kind of distorted because he played a lot of DT in IndyI also like Jordan Babineaux more than Considinehttp://www.nfl.com/players/jordanbabineaux/profile?id=BAB720379Jordan has played safety and corner in this league and he could consistently affect the outcome ofthe game with his special teams play (more than Considine would, imho ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
