phattywankenobi Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Time to Take care unfinished business ..just agreed to terms w/ FALCONS...let's get it!!!Wow you're quick. He just tweeted that. I think it's interesting they signed both Nicholas and Peterson at least for the moment but one may be cut by Week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 He probably wasn't getting interest from other teams. I am a little surprised, but I bet he got a smaller contract than the last contract cause he is slowing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachx Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Peterson is still a big time leader for this team. I'm glad he is back. We read several reports of how he was leading voluntary practices for the defense even though he was not under contract. Now lets get Grimes and 2 out of 3 of the O-Line FAs back together.

hawk2916 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Wow!! Seems as though that money could be put to good use elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryka Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Time to Take care unfinished business ..just agreed to terms w/ FALCONS...let's get it!!!Peterson is a smart and crafty veteran but his speed and lateral movement cause him to be ineffective against the pass. I would like for him to help improve our younger LBs but I would rather have Nicholas and Spoon on at the Will and Sam positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Wow!! Seems as though that money could be put to good use elsewherePeterson is probably only making $1.5 - $1.8 mill.With Lofton and Weatherpoon injured last year it showed how important quality LB depth like Nichols, Peterson, and Dent can be.

Atl/0 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 At this point you have to think the Falcons are in the Ray Edwards discussion. They just have to be.The way TD is talking right now doesn't give me that feeling so I'll believe it when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dday Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Now lets get Grimes and 2 out of 3 of the O-Line FAs back together.X2. Get that done, then focus on a DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volunteer Falcon Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Glad to get Peterson back. He's still a solid two down linebacker and a great leader for our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) X2. Get that done, then focus on a DE.I don't think there will be much cap space left.I'm hoping we get news today that guys like Anderson, Davis, and even Jenkins have been cut for $7.5 mill in cap savings. That is what it will take to keep our own current free agents and add to the defense. A lot of cuts are supposed to happen around the NFL today before 6PM.

Then they'll walk out the door laughing.Well, even though I've been very supportive of the defense, if the Falcons run the exact same defense out there this year without a single upgrade after watching them get a historical shredding by the Packers, none of us fans are going to be laughing.

I doubt he was getting much interest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYD Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) That's nice...so when are we going to upgrade the defense?Well first we have to make sure we don't downgrade the defense by letting players go. We seem to already be in the hunt for a DE but if that does not pan out at least we won't be downgraded on D.He probably got something close to vet min. so it's not like he is breaking the bank. Glad we are carefully resigning our own players then over spending on them like Carolina is doing. Edited July 28, 2011 by SYD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
