shock 2,329 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) So does this move save us $12 million? He had $2.5 million base salary and another $10 million from incentives. How’s that work for cap relief? Because if we just saved $12 million this was a no brainer with Italian Ice on the roster. Bryant was amazing though, too bad he never got to make that field goal to win the game in the super bowl...... Edited February 6, 2019 by shock Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The release will save the Falcons close to $3 million this year and close to $4 million in 2020, and they’ll turn the reins over to Giorgio Tavecchio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FalconFanSince1970 24,829 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Good move. Dude is an injury risk. Take the $2.8M in relief and let Giorgio handle the job. Don't be afraid to see him show up in NO, TB or CHI. The wheels will drop off soon. Good timing Dimi. Keep up the good work. Beasley up next. Trade him, re-work him on a low ball deal, or cut him.

MAD597 7,497 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ugg, I understand it but I'm not thrilled. I would have preferred to keep him and italian ice both on the roster and then let him retire on his own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Move frees up $2.88m in capspace. He was a fantastic Falcon and a great man. He'll be missed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malachore 9,564 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Was hoping he'd retire, release doesn't feel right but I get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EJmusic 2,335 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Love that man. But it was the right move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BCEagleATLFalcon 11,361 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I don't like this move. I know this is a business. I know that. But this guy earned the right to retire a Falcon on his own terms. Just my (emotional) take. I'm still furious he couldn't have retired on the unbelievably high note of kicking the game-clinching SB 51 field goal. F*** you, Shanahan. Also, I like Lefty. And he was good in a truly clutch moment in the Giants game. But a play-off game, 50-yarder, game on the line? I still want Bryant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup but what yall hate to admit is that 73% of that team was Smitty's players. The team moves backwards with the more DQ guys we add, but like I already said next year the excuse will be "they're rookie/2nd year players" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
