GTBF54 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Falcons have $27.364 million invested in defensive players which is dead last.... Ending up as the No. 26 defense per Football Outsiders DVOA metric.... This is why they must go heavy in FA and the draft on the defense... Falcons per Spotrac...... Players Signed 44 Ave Age 25.7 Off $75,368,057 Def $27,339,142 Dead $19,241,242 Rollover $3,905,769 Top 51 $128,504,274 Adjusted Cap $159,175,769 Cap Space W/Top 50 $30,671,495 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRUNKuno Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This isnt surprising at all. We've always tried to be frugal defensively. The settle for average talent mindframe gets you nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast-N-Da-Sheetz Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Cheap bast@rds. TD's always had a thing for flashy skill positions. Edited February 27, 2016 by Beast-N-Da-Sheetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Manley Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Like I said in the other thread, we only have 15 defensive players under contract. Saying we need to go heavy on defense isn't an opinion, it's a fact in order to fill out the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawse Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Defense wins championships. Until we spend on it like Denver did, we are going nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using this analysis, Denver is 24th. In reality, they just have a lot of free agents, and haven't completed their roster yet, same as us.

Not sure where you're getting your numbers from, because the Broncos have a lot of free agents on defense. Doesn't really matter though...fact is that we have like half a defense under contract, so criticizing the 2016 spending is pointless.

toadfishtom Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The defensive free agents TD likes are usually washed up old guys or mediocre injury prone dudes ........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I really wish this place would just use common sense. It's so bloody annoying. 1. We have a lot of starters on rookie deals 2. We just cut our most expensive defensive players 3. We only have 15 guys under contract. Wah wah wah. All the ******* time. Two years ago everyone was bitching that we need to draft more defense. When we do that, BAM! They start complaining about something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
