Danishfalcon Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Falcons just released two former first-round picks, DE Jamaal Anderson and WR Michael Jenkins.Schefter on twitterhttp://twitter.com/#!/AdamSchefterEdit:A little surprised, especially on JA98. Could this mean we are about to bring in another DE? Osi/Ray Edwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_Falcon Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 You beat me to it, That means big things are coming! We just cleared a but load of cap space and lost our best run stuffer....I'll admit I will miss jenks and JA98, but time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If this is unfounded then it's a dirty, nasty, rumor. Please be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane#7 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 **** I was going to post this... that was quick.Cap casualties can't blame TD on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler11 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Wow - I am a little shocked. Obviously neither had any trade value. I'd fully expect us to make a big signing now at DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakyfalcon Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Surprised by Jenkins being released since he just signed a new contract last year? Not surprised by JA98 at all though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah, if that is true then either Edwards is coming to the ATL or we have something in the works for Osi.....Something's happening....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern_Falcon Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm listening to Adam Schefter talk about it now. He said a more surprising move..... and that was it lol I wanted to hear like to make room for..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishfalcon Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Surprised by Jenkins being released since he just signed a new contract last year? Not surprised by JA98 at all though.I guess it means that they really trust Harry Douglas. If he is good to go, and get his timing down with Matt, he is essentially the perfect slot receiver, with Julio and Roddy on the outside.

I'd fully expect us to make a big signing now at DE.alright, where is hehateme.....i've said over and over and over to anyone that would listen that Michael Jenkins had no trade value and his contract compounded the "no trade value".I have been vindicated by none other than Thomas Dimitroff.

k-train Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Me thinks Edwards is gonna be a Falcon... something like 5 years, 40-44 mil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 7.1 million in cap space just cleared up - Oh yeah - something is about to go down!Jenkins - You represented the Red and Black well - thanks for all you did. You will be missed - Good Luck wherever you land!Anderson - Many hated on you here - but you were a good run stuffer, carried yourself well as a Falcon and did many great things in the community! I wish you luck in the rest of your career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UptownHardHitta Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 TD is finally doing something, today may be a good day for you all. At the very least it'll be addition by subtraction. There are still a lot of DL and WR prospects out there.I'd like to see us add Jenkins and show you how to use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Blouses™ Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 does anyone know our approximate cap space atm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'd like to see us add Jenkins and show you how to use him.Oh, you're going to show him how to actually use his hands to catch instead of his body and actually fight for the ball when it's up for grabs?Good luck with that.

falconfanatic365 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I know all of you are happy but I'm sad. Jenkins was a quality 2 although maybe not for a SB team and JA98 was valuable at holding the line of scrimmage and the run game. We did not get better by releasing them.However, we may find better value... I hope we bring them back for much less but that is doubtful.

67camaro Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who was married over the offseason, is due a nice wedding present from the Falcons in the form of a $11.25 million bonus. Had to make room!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANE337 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I was hoping to still have Jenkins in the WR mix rotating with the others and at least having a backup if Roddy or Julio go down. Not sad to see JA98 go. Was a disappointment from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
