apl2g 608 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Am I the only one that wonders why this hasn’t happened yet? Other teams have been dumping salary and moving salaryaround for days now, yet the Falcons have signed a punter and a reserve defensive lineman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k-train 9,122 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Other teams aren't bringing in BOTH a new GM & HC, so they already know what they've got, what works & what doesn't vs. AS & TF, who have to do a complete evaluation of the roster AND define their goals for the next several years & figure out who is a part of that plan & how you can afford to turn it from a plan to a reality. There's just a whole lot more on their plates with this being year 1 for them both, and it takes time. #55, Ezekiel 25:17, Herr Doktor and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcons007 25,929 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Falcons don't have to be under the cap before March 17. I like they are monitoring the FA veteran cuts before jumping on restructuring. Let them see how much money they need and restructure as needed. me4falcons, k-train, FalconDiddly18 and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sitting on there hands man if that as described wow that’s funny. Got to have a whole new process for scouting and no doubt teams will trend around FA signings and what they are prepared to spend with the coming years caps not nailed down. Busy busy busy. athell 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dem Birds 11,009 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Some of these contracts have language that doesn't require the players to approve it. I mean they get their money regardless so they may just be working out the details of it and just do it. Or work it out and then present it to his representatives.

Snafu 7,341 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 How would Schultz know if we have or have not been in touch w/ his agent? If talks have started, it doesn't benefit either party to take it public at this point in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teams have more than 7 days to be under contract before they can be punished. But it is bad look on the FO and the owners to be non compliant with cap. Most teams have to make a move any ways and not risk the penalties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
