The Falchemist Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I thoughtMcClain and Franks were RFA? maybe I'm wrong there.I definitely did as well, until reading a few hrs ago (via AJC) that Franks signed a 2-year in September and McClain signed a 2-year in January.

Aftermath Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I haven't heard anything about McClain, nor can I find anything about him resigning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Link on McClain? If so, that may literally be the most quiet re-signing this team has ever made.not sure -- but McClain was originally signed Jan12 to a futures contract --- when he made the 53 in sep12 a new contract (standard) was signed same for all futures players that make the 53.But the 1 unofficial list of FAs I've seen does have him a RFAThen again I may be full of **** Edited February 6, 2013 by delaigle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimus*Crimes Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Link on McClain? If so, that may literally be the most quiet re-signing this team has ever made.He's an RFA with exclusive rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaigle Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 What is a "futures contract"?again not sure -- but in general -- All new players (non drafted) are initially signed to something called a futures contract. I Think if they make the team they sign a standard contract. All PS players are on futures contracts (re-signed) during the regular seasonOff course FAs and draftees are signed to a standard contract.some early unattached FAx like McClain might start out on futures contracts like the UDFAs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 They will sweeten things up for McClain, props to him, I love him, and we need him, but I think he has hit his ceiling, he is about as good as he will get prolly, which right now is plenty good enough for me.... ....

The Falchemist Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Link on McClain? If so, that may literally be the most quiet re-signing this team has ever made.We have some updated contract information on tight end Chase Coffman, wide receivers Drew Davis and Tim Toone and cornerbacks Dominique Franks and Robert McClain.All are signed for 2013 and will not be free agents.Coffman was signed to a two-year contract and Toone to a three-year contract on Nov. 13. Davis and Franks signed two year deals in September.McClain signed a two-year deal in January is set to make $555,000 in 2013.http://www.ajc.com/w...falcons-retain/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

head hunter Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This should be our 1st rd pick next year at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED_N_BLACK_98 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 You have to give the Falcon's front office credit for being proactive in signing these guys. Now they have possibly more time to properly evaluate our draft targets and even other free agent targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiker Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Robert McClain worked out really well...lets hope Johnson is serviceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbaz Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Who?Sounds like we have another 4th/5th string cornerback and Franks will be cut again. HD was the punt returner at the end of the season and playoffs. Franks had 0 value to be on the team except to keep the bench warm.It may be too early to tell but it seems like Grimes is gone and Dunta will have a reconstructed contract again.
