Guest Gritz Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Doesn't disappoint me because I never thought it was a real possibility anyway.....In some ways this helps the Falcons out regardless.....A division rival team that has that many holes sinking that much money and cap space on one (admittedly very good) player?

jgator21 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Y'all mad? Not really. Were still a good team and you guys still suck. Nothing to be really mad about. You may return to being mediocre now sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minzear Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 agreed. Drew Rosenhaus just made Edwards another $10million and he is not even Edwards agent.The top suitors for Edwards are us and philly, the best either can offer is 8 Mil. So unless the best DEs want to go play for ****** teams.. i'll just give Biermann another shot and wait for Mario Williams next year, when we have Abe and tony G coming off the books.

Falcons115 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Y'all mad? Nah, I'm actually happy we didn't have to pay him 12+ mill a year, and now we can turn our focus on resigning our own guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-dawg Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I told you JR was opening up that wallet.well, good luck to you.....that is too much money - CJ better be a superstar for that kind of money - if his production is not 10+ sacks/yr for the remainder of the contract then you guys got ripped a new one.
