Veteran guard Chris Chester is signing with the Falcons, I'm told.

Seen everyone say all day that they wanted him. Anyone want to give me an overview of him? I know his replacement was drafted this year, is that the only reason he was released?

Thanks Prince Shembo. You made this transaction much easier to figure out who to cut.

[Jigglypuff 964]

wow we cut a linebacker (defense) and pick up a guard (offense)... are we sure this regime has their head on right?? Our defense was last in the league last year!!!!!

He was released because he doesn't fit Gruden's power scheme even though he started all 16 games last season

This line is starting to shape up

This line is starting to shape up

He was a major plug because he knows the system it offensive guards just got a lot better with Asamoah and Chester

Yep we can draft his replacement in a draft or two. I just hope Ryan can finally have the time to throw.

OG Chris Chester was 15th Ranked OG in the NFL last season that played at least 13 games (via @PFF)

Here you go.

Glad I waited up, great news! I was hoping this would get done.

[Monoxide 95,403]

1 year deal? 2 year deal?

I think he easily has 3 solid years left.

[hjerry 20,534]

At his age, best to keep him at his natural position. Send Asamoah over to LG to help Matthews.

Well we cut a contributor maybe....for a starter who already knows the scheme and playbook...we dropped some trash and pick up a treasure

[hjerry 20,534]

This is Tuggle here, reminding everyone that...

Japan is ******* weird yo

[BritFalcon 149]

Where's Baker going to to play now? Are we looking at a camp battle between him and Shraeder?

[Sheldon Cooper 623]

15th out of 64 miscast in the wrong scheme bodes well for us now that he is back in his ideal fit.

[Brewcrew 2,090]

Here you go.

Do you know where he ranked when he payed under Shanahan?

[WiscoFalcon 2,444]

HECK YES.
