falcons007 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If this is true, Falcons probably thought some team would grab him if they didn’t use the tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro2000 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Makes sense as I imagine the cap hit is now less than $2.9m. He is good depth to have along the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penumbra Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 He should be called "slash." One thing about big Ben is he can play competent center/DT/guard. Not many NFL players can brag about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoomGoesTheDynamite Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Been fan of Garland since he put Wilson on his butt in the end zone for a safety during our SB run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atljbo Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Naw .. It just means no team offered him a offersheet...... This is just showing that he is signing his Restricted FA offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vel Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I still think it's interesting he's listed as a DE. I guess it's easier to stash him there and cross at OG and let them take a young OL to develop instead of listing Garland as an OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo Proxy Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) And listed as by any site means little to usage game days! I could see Wes being the #3 and Garland being that emergency OG/OC while playing DT in rush situations. Garland's strengths seem to be going forward. Sort of like Taven Bryan. Not as strong holding a point when the other guy is in a favorable upfield play vs you; like in pass protection as an OL or defending the run as a DT.

Penumbra Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 There does seem to be disagreement between websites as to Ben's present weight. I've seen it at 275 and someone said at nfl.com it's 300. Agreed, yes! Ben's strength is going forward especially as a run blocker,...or as you pointed out so well, disrupting the opposing O-line as a defender.

This just came up on rotoworld this morning: Falcons signed OG Ben Garland to a one-year, $2.914 million contract. Garland drew a second-round tender as a restricted free agent, meaning it was always unlikely he would sign an offer sheet with another team. Garland should continue as Atlanta's top reserve on the interior. Mar 19 - 8:46 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
