stizz Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ok guys, didn't want to put all my info out there yet as I usually reserve some for the draft, but my guy is upset about all the bad info that has got Falcon land upset over Sanu. We are interested in Sanu, but nowhere near 7 per. Likely around 5. Boykin wants to come back to ATL but is doing diligence in testing the market as advised by his agent. Freeman will be a Falcon likely by the end of the night, first reported by Vaughn. Mack always had ATL in his sights, but didn't want to do CLE dirty, but was thinks he is doing the right decision as CLE is currently being purged and the FO don't know how to talk to players. Grimes is likely done in the NFL with contenders. You know the reason why. slight interest in Toby Gerhart to be our goalline back. The team was attracted to Mario at first, but as turned off by his comments of going to the highest bidder. Feel that was indicitive he had no intentions to compete. I'll be happy to answer any questions and if you are skeptical about my validity, check out my history and how I was the first to dispel the Dianna tweet being inaccurate as well as updating the Derrick Morgan drama in the past. We did good today guys. Mack is a huge get, so will Freeman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOzOne Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thanks, Stizz. Too many Madden fans think that players automatically want to play for their favorite teams and that offering $2 more on a contract will bring them. In fact, players typically leave their original teams because of money, but that's not the main reason they sign with another one. If more than one team is interested, then things like family considerations, overall quality of life, income tax rates, and scheme fit become important. They're not going to sign with us "just because". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconcrest58 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Long story short.....we need to or should've over paid for a pass rusher. That's the only way to do it for the upcoming season. But then again TD has been doing this same sh!t for 9 yrs Edited March 9, 2016 by falconcrest58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemDarnFalconsBoy! Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 What's the news with Trevethan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfalcons Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Glad to hear it's not near $7M for Sanu .. $5M sounds better, although for his production and WR status, a little high. Not sure about anyone else, but I like Freeman. Good sound LB who will man the inside. I was hoping for Trevathan, but I'm totally fine with having made Mack the main target. He'll be turning 30, but we'll get a few good years out of him and assume the team will be addressing depth and the future in the draft. I like Boykin as well. I'd say so far so good. We do desperately need one starting OG as well pass rush end - perhaps the draft for both (Dodd/Lawson - 1st, Whitehair - 2nd). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL is a top 10 city across the board in every living category pretty much except traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this 'crap roster' that TD assembled, according to you? Because that is the ONLY reason we should be overpaying a pass rusher. So which is it?

Dirtybird56 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Happy to hear we're looking at Sanu for 5m/per and not 7. Think he is a solid pickup at 5m per Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro2000 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I like the Freeman signing if it happens. I know he is good in coverage. It's some progress. I would like N.Bradham too if Freeman is going to play inside (I hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Well dude, you put yourself out there, shared some interesting tidbits and have brought value. If you've got a source with some info, I commend you and rescind my early skepticism. Hope your boy is right on most of this not related to Toby Gerhart. LOL.

blackredfellow Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It'll be interesting to see how this pans out compared with your info. I hope all you say is right. Sanu for 5 mil, sweet. Get Freeman, sweet. If you do have inside info (not doubting you), thanks for posting it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimeyKidd Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 So guys I was taking a nap and I woke up and saw RB Travaris Cadent followed me. If you're wondering. Ive been tweeting non stop falcons stuff so this comes as a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more letting the other team throw 90% of their passes at our slot guy and getting smoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
