FlyHighFalcons Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) We already drafted:Julio Jones, WR.Akeem Dent, LB.Jacquizz Rodgers, RB.Matt Bosher, P.Andrew Jackson, OL.Cliff Matthews, DE.In free agency we will let go:Jerious Norwood, RB.Brian Finneran, WR.Trey Lewis, DT.Brian Williams, CB.Michael Koenen, P.Harvey Dahl, OG.Stephen Nicholas, LB.Chauncey Davis, DE (cut).In free agency we will sign:Ray Edwards, DE, Minnesota. This is one that I feel like is a lock if he becomes a UFA. He fits our biggest need that has been avoided, and Blank will be willing to sign this beast.Eric Wright, CB, Cleveland. A cheap replacement for Brian Williams and a young/solid corner.Deon Grant, SS, Seattle. Wants to be a Falcon, would take a hometown discount and could add some age to the young backfield.Manny Lawson, LB, San Francisco. He is perfect for the role of replacing Nicholas. A playmaker behind the line of scrimmage. Exactly what we need.Depth:QB: Ryan/Redman/Wilson.RB: Turner/Snelling/QuizzFB: Ovie/SnellingWR: White/Jenkins/Jones/Douglas/Meier/WeemsTE: Gonzo/Palmer/PeeleLT: Baker/ValdezLG: Blalock/JacksonC: McClure/HawleyRG: Johnson/JacksonRT: Clabo/ReynoldsDE: Edwards/Biermann/MatthewsDT: Jerry/Peters/AndersonDT: Babs/WalkerDE: Abe/SidburyOLB: Lawson/PetersonMLB: Lofton/Dent/AdtkinsOLB: Weatherspoon/WireCB: Robinson/Grimes/Franks/Wright/OwensFS: DeCoud/SchillingerSS: Moore/GrantK: BryantP: Bosher Edited May 7, 2011 by FlyHighFalcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyHighFalcons Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Edwards for sure. Manny Lawson maybe.Other than those two I think were straight.I was planning on just bringing Nich back, but I really think that Lawson would be a big time upgrade. Could be a solid 4-3 OLB, and we need all the playmakers we can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayOzOne Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 That's a major "if" for Edwards in UFA. If he is RFA under the new contract, we'll need to trade for him which would help the financial bottom line but hurt us from a depth standpoint because I'm pretty sure we're not trading any more draft picks.

FlyHighFalcons Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Eric Wright is very solid if he is going to be playing a fourth CB spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandy Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I was planning on just bringing Nich back, but I really think that Lawson would be a big time upgrade. Could be a solid 4-3 OLB, and we need all the playmakers we can get.I was hoping (and still am) that Nicholas gets signed again, but I think he has his sights set for Detroit.
