Doctor Kildare Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 The ESPN beat writers each picked a player from their team who could use a new team. Here is Vaughn McClure's pick for the Falcons NFC SOUTH Atlanta Falcons Running back Tevin Coleman Not saying this will happen, with Coleman having one year left on his contract. But it's still hard to imagine the Falcons keeping Coleman and starter Devonta Freeman together after rewarding Freeman with an extension worth $8.25 million per year. Coleman, with 20 total touchdowns in three seasons, has trade value. I asked one high-ranking AFC evaluator about it: "Yes, he does have value. Great complement to a starter and he could fill the role as a starting running back. Great speed and athleticism. Only knock is he hasn't been their featured runner. Can't discount his ability to score [with] the football.'' -- Vaughn McClure http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/32for32x180214/nfl-players-need-change-scenery-all-32-teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 That's a tough one to read. Love me some Teco and I would hate to see him dressed in a different uniform. It makes sense though given Free's contract and not wanting to have a ton of money wrapped up in the position. It would be a shame to see him go, because I think this is an ideal situation for him in this particular RBBC with Freeman but at the same time Sark wasn't exactly playing to his strengths last year so I could see the want for him to move on.

Knight of God Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Draft a RB now, then you won't have to last year. I'm still mad we didn't get Corey Clement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you though, gotta keep drafting at that position one of 'em will hit. And yeah, we have made some nice splashes from PS/UDFA over the years. It absolutely can be done. I'm still a lil salty about losing Grace though...for Garrett Grayson...I will never understand that one bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hasn't TD mentioned keeping Coleman and Freeman is a possibility going foward.I think if we wanted to go n that direction we could have to wait and see how this plays out.

FentayeJones Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 If a team outside of the NFCS inquired about a trade for Coleman i would definitely listen. Freeman is gonna get the bulk of the caries anyway. To me it would make sense to trade him now and draft his replacement this season. That way it would be 4 years before you have to worry about paying another RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could try out different plays based on which back was in and pick a direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear is Freeman is just a concussion or two away from ending his career. I think Free was worth the money "IF" he was durable enough to run for several years, if not, then absolutely not. And I'm very afraid, given his style of running, he won't make it too long. So if we lost Teco next year, and Free gets to the point he is just going to have to hang it up soon, then it would really be a huge loss to the team. I know there's a lot of "ifs" in my comment.

Snafu Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 37 minutes ago, NeonDeion said: Sony Michael = TeCo clone. Pull the trigger I think Michel is a much more gifted runner than TeCo. If we are being honest, TeCo goes down easily, has mediocre vision and doesn't make defenders miss (no shiftiness). His game is purely based on using his speed to get to the edge. I like the guy, but he's one dimensional and greatly overrated around here. I truly dont get the hate Free has gotten around here lately, especially considering he's clearly a better, more polished back than TeCo (Who has been getting nothing but love).
