CHOCTHEFALCONFAN™ Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Per John Clayton (ClaytonESPN)"The Falcons can't afford to lose T Tyson Clabo. Believe it or not, he's more important to them than adding DE Ray Edwards" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrtay Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 well, it's protecting ryan or getting to brees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 If that is indeed true then in 2010 when he was a RFA why did the Falcons choose to sign him to a 1 year contract. They could have more easily (cheaper) signed him to a multi-year contract then than now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaigle Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've asked this very question many, many times and I'm still waiting on an answer.The answer is simple, they did not (or do not) intend to re-sign him this year. That was a year ago I do not pretend to know what they intend to do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peoriabird Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Seriously folks...Clabo is a right tackle a position where players are a dime a dozen! Y'all acting like he is #1 on every team free agent list...News flash, He is not! In fact only 2 other teams have expressed an interest and if that doesn't give you the much needed insight into his relative importants to the rest of the league then I don't know what will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the "can't afford to lose" that I'm objecting to. Edited July 27, 2011 by delaigle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
