xSICKxWITHxITx Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Michael Turner - RB - FalconsMichael Turner is scheduled to count $8.9 million against the 2013 salary cap, while releasing him would free up $6.4 million.Turner, who turned 31 on Wednesday, is going to get cut. It's just a matter of time. He's lost a step or four as a runner, and the power that he once possessed is no longer there. Turner also doesn't fit the offense, and the money saved could go towards re-signing SS William Moore and LT Sam Baker. The Falcons will surely look long and hard at Ahmad Bradshaw, Steven Jackson, and Eddie Lacy in free agency and the draft.Source: ESPN.com Feb 14 - 1:31 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ICEMAN Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think quite a few people could get cut even some people aren't expecting especially on defense as the much faster way to improve the defense is threw FA and the draft. I'm not sold on 2 or 3 draft picks changing what we already have on defense. That would mean just on defense we'd have to draft two impact pro bowl type players to really improve the defense and impact players like that on defense are much harder to find than on offense and even harder when your picking late in rounds.

THE ICEMAN Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I actually think they really believe Rodgers is there feature back going forward if you here TD and coach smith they time and time again say Rodgers in not just a 3rd down back. This will be an interesting off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons 211sd Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i still think turner has some left in the tank when he gets to the second level, thats the only problem but when he gets rolling he still has it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftermath Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 If we sign a FA RB Turner isn't going to be the only one that gets cut (looking at you TD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons 211sd Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 all he needs to do is drop 15 20 pounds in the offseason and his acc. and hitting the holes will improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may fill a backup role on another roster, but his days as a starting bell cow are over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
