g-dawg Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Today is Monday, July 8th. The deadline to sign franchise-tagged players to a multi-year deal is Tuesday, July 16th. What do you guys place the odds that a deal gets done right now? if a deal gets done, what's it gonna be? FalconsIn2012 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-dawg Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 I believe the Falcons will get it done. Deal will be for more than everyone thinks is fair. It will probably look like an overpay today but probably will look decent as time moves on. Just look at our D-Line - Grady is rather indispensable.

Every major contract signed one year will look great in hindsight because a new player is gonna break bread the following year whether he’s worth it or not. That’s just how it goes.

I disagree. Smart NFL GMs keep their core together. Anchor players that are young enough, healthy enough and great attitude and leaders in lockerrroom - those guys don't tend to make it to free agency.

Think it’ll get done and like you said - we’ll overpay for the time being. We gotta have him - I guess - according to all the experts on here lol.

To play devils advocate: we wouldn’t let Grady walk to sign a FA replacement. We let him walk to sign Debo, Neal, Hooper, Dre and not have to cut Sanu, Free & possibly Mack Atl Falcon and Charles Wright 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal, being honest, will have less of an effect in today's NFL w/ the crackdown on violent hits - even clean hits that look violent are gonna be flagged. As much as I love Neal, he's not in the same class as Grady. As to Hooper - he's slightly better than average and easily replaceable - 500yds and 4-5 TDs is run of the mill. Again, replaceable. Freeman? he could be processed after this year if he doesn't have a good year. I'm telling you - Grady's not going anywhere - and if some of those guys are sacrificed to keep Grady - so be it. kiwifalcon and papachaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I'd like him but we have our own hands full with Rankins coming up for a new deal after 2020 and they play the same position. If he can play NT then maybe, but the Buccaneers however will likely be in the market again though. papachaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo Proxy Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I wonder what the new CBA will do to contracts in the 2020 offseason OR up until new one is done some time before 2021 season; and if the cap rules will be changed any? Seems like Julio is more likely to be done at this rate. Falcons risk a lot letting Grady play on the tag if they wanted to keep him long-term... I figured if he were a Falcon for life; which TD and DQ indicated, then it would be done along with Julio.
