Steel City Falcon Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Scheffter just put it on facebook...Looks like Lofton is gone. But Tatupu was a 3 time Pro Bowler and an All Pro in 2007. He'll bring a lot of experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atljbo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Reports said he looked really good in the workout we gave him.... I guess the year off help his injuries...With Lofton... I dont blame him if he wants to test the market.... Remember on the Radio.. No Hometown discounts... The problem for the falcons... If a team like Tampa throw 8 mil a year at him... We are not going to match that.Lets see whats going to happen.... I know some are thinking depth with this signing but Dent is depth.

Steel City Falcon Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Still only 29 and I'm sure he came at a semi cheap price. If he is all healed up he could be a big addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon337 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 another sign that we are going to make a run at Super Mario!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackredfellow Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'll really be sad if 5-0 is gone, and it looks like he will be.What this does mean, this and the signing of Manuwai, all but solidifys to me that we are preparing the Brinks truck for Mario.

vdove0926 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Im not saying we have to sign Mario or Nicks but I am saying Lofton not coming back imo is showing that we have the ammo to go after either one and will pursue them.I said pursue not sign. I still believe Dent will be the starter but its going to be nice to have another option like Tatupa waiting just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bohern Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) another sign that we are going to make a run at Super Mario!!!!!!I would concurI made a bet last night with Jay Adams on twitter that we would sign him after I heard the workout went so well.So at training camp next year Jay owes me a snow cone...the sad part is I am not even sure if they sell snow cones at camp....

dmo_dlo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Reports said he looked really good in the workout we gave him.... I guess the year off help his injuries...My only concern is that if he was in such good shape how come the Saints didn't sign him after the workout he had with the? Maybe bountygate?

g-dawg Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 another sign that we are going to make a run at Super Mario!!!!!!every move the Falcons have made so far points towards Falcons pursuing SuperMario - i'm about 90% at this point that Falcons will be a major player for him.

falcon057 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 anybody know why he did not play last year?Posted 15 February 2012 - 08:08 AMBecause if there was anybody around here whose career warranted a ceremonial viking burial it was Lofa Tatupu, linebacker/leader/warrior chief.According to the release from the Seahawks, the team and Tatupu “mutually parted ways” on Sunday. The team asked him to take a pay cut and he asked for his release in response.Tatupu is the second fan favorite to see his Seattle career end this week, joining quarterback Matt Hasselbeck as a recent high-profile discard.Tatupu gave the fans plenty to like.Here was an undersized guy who became a true leader of this team the minute he stepped on the field. Seriously. Some Seahawks players marveled at how his presence and instincts set him apart on his very first day. He stepped on the field and immediately knew where everyone was supposed to be.Respected around the league, he was voted to three Pro Bowls.But the admiration for him was greatest in the locker room. There was no member of the Seahawks more reluctant to talk about himself or more eager to talk about a teammate.Lofa Tatupu was all about the team.
