His options are get more money with the jags or get a little less (still a good deal) but gets to play where he wants to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Irvin would be an instant upgrade and I'd be all for it, but in the back of my head I'd be like why the **** did we sign Reed to that contract... What was the plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the plan? You can use both... Brooks reed is only making around 3 mil this year ... Next year we could cut him and gain cap space. But this year I think both can be used ..

What I'm saying is what was the plan, I mean if you now your going after Irvin in 2016 invest elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiruz Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Irvin is going to go to whoever shows him the money, he might take a home town discount, but not a substantial one. These guys have a window of time they can play football, and they got families to take care of too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 We are better off with both Reed and Irvin. They will make Worrilow better or whomever we have in the middle. Signing him I would guess we take a DE/DT in round one or a future OLB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the plan? I feel the same way. After reading about Reed, I am still wondering why the heck we bothered to sign him last year. The guy can play the run well, but not much else. How does Reed fit into Quinn's system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaFanatic Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 This is a no-brainer for him. He's 29 yrs old so this will be his last big payday before he's washed up and goes to play for Washington to finish his career. Jax is within driving distance of Atlanta so he could come back home whenever he wanted. If I were him, I'm signing with Jax for more money.

That said i'm not sold on Irvin at 8-9 million per anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still nothing that says Jax is willing to vastly overpay for players just cause they have money. Caldwell is a TD guy. I doubt he wants to send them into cap trouble in one offseason. Theyve got a TON of young talent they're going to need to pay over the next few years. Yes they have tons of money, but I don't think that means they're gonna be foolish with it. Didnt they have a boatload last year too? And still wouldn't give Suh an offer he couldn't refuse. The cap isn't a one year deal. All the big guys they sign will impact them for years to come.

Sam Baker's Contract Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Florida has no Personal income tax so the Falcons have to clearly overpay Irvin in regards if he has down to Jax and Atl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but the make up that lost revenue elsewhere. Irvin would probably still save money but other taxes in Florida are higher than GA I believe. Florida will get their money. It's not like they just completely turn away 4% of all earnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonville is not that far from Georgia and he played under Bradley for at least a year as well. I think playing in Atlanta has some appeal but only see him sacrificing so much. I fully expect him to be in Jacksonville at this stage. Not that I was as in love with the prospect of signing him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
