Hate how injuries killed his career. Sam is a great guy and hopefully he'll have a career of some kind in the NFL even as a backup, obviously his recovery didn't go how the Falcons wanted it to. Hopefully some additional time off can help Sam make a come back. (in another city)

So how much do we have pay him?

[Tandy 16,967]

Now, though, we have to get Matty Ice one of these to replace Sam:

Agreed. Hope this doesn't turn into a bashing thread.

Would like to know the true cap hit.
