theProf Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 From an article at YahooSports: "The Falcons have their eyes on free agent linebacker Danny Trevathan. Atlanta will also be in the mix for Mohamed Sanu, who got engaged over the weekend " https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/won-combine-155600226--nfl.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-dawg Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hope Falcons understand the cost of doing business for Trevathan starts at 4yrs and $32mm and will go up from there. Don't get your fanbase all excited if you are not serious. Hope we get Trevathan! Sanu? meh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast forward 3 years or so and we still have ZERO pass rush. We are not going to lure anyone here because we are the "Atlanta Falcons" so it's going to be a $$ decision...we will be outbid and left holding the bag. Irvin is the only possible player that might "choose" the Falcons if all things were equal but we have a version of him already on the roster in Measley. Face the facts that a player looking to win a ring is not coming here. I say that for the 30+ year old free agents because they are looking at a final contract and a chance for a title..not a team that's rebuilding or reloading or whatever mantra is being used this year.

I try not to be this pessimistic until at least the Falcons bye week. But I hear ya.... This is the best time of the year to be a Falcons fan, because we can dream. Please let us dream right now I'm begging ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 in regard to Mario....the Falcons admitted they hurt Clayborn's performance by moving him inside, that he was much more dominant from the outside. Maybe they feel they can get the same production from Clay at $5-7M per seasons as they can from Mario at 8-12M per season? That said, I would much rather have Mario Williams.

Cut: Roddy, Hester, TJax, and Babs Sign: Mario, Travathan, Sanu, Wisneiwski, and Jeff Allen Draft: Lee (OLB), Killebrew (SS), Tapper (DE), Hargrave (DT) Dreamy enough??

No specific names yet that I'm aware of, just a general statement as follows: "4. INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE: The Falcons will be looking to add a center and/or guards in free agency. They plan to improve the interior of the offensive line. “We have some interior things that we are going to continue to look at,” Dimitroff said." http://atlantafalcons.blog.ajc.com/2016/02/04/5-things-we-learned-from-dimitroff-and-quinn-on-sb-radio-row/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 If you are paying him $10M+ a season, he will be a likely cut candidate in 2 years or so unless he is Keuchly or Wagner good. UFA guys get overpaid, an usually don't play out their contracts. It is just historically factual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of God Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Interesting to see what Danny does with lesspasd rush and run stopping. I like Sanu, but not to replace anyone at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrews31cain21 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I read where a columnist called Sanu a slower version of Hankerson. I would rather have Benji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrews31cain21 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Quote Why it doesn't make sense You've got to aim higher than this. Sanu is essentially a healthier, steadier, and slower version of Leonard Hankerson, as they're virtually the same size and have both produced fairly underwhelming careers to this point. Sanu was the Bengals' fifth-leading receiver behind A.J. Green, Marvin Jones, Tyler Eifert and Giovani Bernard in 2015, did not come down with a single touchdown, and is not exactly a big play receiver. Sanu would be a perfectly legitimate third receiver if the Falcons upgraded at tight end and had a true #2 receiver already, but even though he's relatively young at 26, I can't see Sanu taking the kind of major leap forward that would justify the nice little contract he's likely to get.

vafalconfan Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 For starters I'd rather get FA WR from Cleveland..and while I Iike Trevathan I think we would be overpaying for a LB that will not be the same player on our defense.. He was surrounded by talent at Denver that we are not close to matching and that counts for something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaRdH3ad Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Rather have Benjamin. The amount of pressure he and Julio could put on a defense would be deadly imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
