Branton Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I couldn't find any news to see if Jonathan Massaquoi already signed with Falcons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don.reese Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This one is a puzzle, since we have signed all the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fibonacci Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 this is a little odd because like you said, "all the other players have signed". I am not worried about him not signing, but I do wonder why he has not signed yet.Edit:I could only find this link that was from 5 days ago that states Jonathan is the only player left to sign.

Branton Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Isn't that weird that he didn't signed yet but involved with OTAs???ESPN quote: DE Jonathan Massaquoi, a fifth-round pick from Troy and Atlanta's only draft pick who has not signed, participated in the practice.

sharky Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This one is a puzzle, since we have signed all the other.I'm sure something is on the table but maybe it's not what JM think he's worth, so just maybe he wants to be at the OTA's to prove he's more than what they're offering. Just guessing but never-the-less, I hope they get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just guessing but never-the-less, I hope they get it done.does not make sense though - salaries are slotted and Falcons only have X amount of dollars in rookie pool - since all others have been signed and the salary slot "is what it is" - there really should be almost no negotiations at all and little room to disagree.very odd.....

nobkowski Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 and this is "home-boy" who is so happy and grateful that the Falcons drafted him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Fanatic Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I mean really now... how much leverage does a fifth round pick from a little college have anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high impact Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 It could be because he is under the age and they are trying to get his legal guardian to sign for him. Then they found out his birthday is in a few weeks so they are just going to hold off till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izo#2883 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I mean really now... how much leverage does a fifth round pick from a little college have anyway?I think the fact he lost weight is what the dispute is about. Fifth rounders get paid by the pound :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark Kent™ Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I think the fact he lost weight is what the dispute is about. Fifth rounders get paid by the pound I was wondering if it actually is for the 15-20 lbs he lost. Maybe they said they'd pay him more if he cut out the McDonalds and got back down to a weight they liked him at lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 does not make sense though - salaries are slotted and Falcons only have X amount of dollars in rookie pool - since all others have been signed and the salary slot "is what it is" - there really should be almost no negotiations at all and little room to disagree.very odd.....There might be an extra 50,000 available that he wants, be worth not signing for a bit to see if you could get it.
