LB Laurinaitis to Visit Falcons on Tuesday  

Falcons Issue Tenders to Schraeder, Worrilow 

That's about it so far....Laurinaitis imo a little more than lateral...doesn't excite me...Worrilow imo is at his ceiling but a decent player, Schraeder improved a great deal LY, but not entrenched so I was a not surprised at the low level tender to protect him.

The rumors are getting stronger that ATL is a serious player for Alex Mack, C CLE, and everyone knows about Bruce Irvin, but I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about him coming.

With Irvin officially off the books...in terms of big names, it sounds like Alex Mack or naught right now...not a whole lot coming out of Flowery Branch...I get the sense if Mack is not announced today or tomorrow it won't happen.

I hope we sign Alex Mack. Also saw we were battling with the Bears for Danny Trevathan. That would be a huge signing.

I'm with you on Mack for certain...and that one seems to be getting the most attention locally, but you're right the LB from DEN is coming up in a lot of conversations.

D. Leadbetter hasn't delivered anything of substance yet today.

Mack would be a huge upgrade at Center. I think Trevathan ends up in Chicago but I hope TD makes a strong push for him.

Mack will sign! Yess

Yeah...this one is a wrap I'm hearing...sound like 5 yrs...'16 &'17 are guaranteed, haven't heard the overall total, but it's a bunch for at least 3 yrs.

This is good news!

Very good news!
Also, just got the update that we're in the lead for Sanu from the Bengals as well. Over 7M offered per year

We shall see about Trevathan...he's an upgrade over Stupar and company. He played 3-4 ILB in DEN...I'm not sure how Quinn would use him...OLB or replacing Worrilow...where do you see him fitting best?

Now that one I don't like as much...Sanu is a big Tarzan like body, looks great coming off the bus, but he seems to turn into Jane when the games start...decent, and I know they gotta get a WR2, but that's way too much for him.

I would have preferred Marvin Jones, but not at the money he got from the Lions

Ok...I preferred Ragland to upgrade Worrilow in the middle anyway.
It sounds like a lot of people really like Darron Lee out of Ohio State.

I really like the potential of Lee, but don't you think he needs to play OLB?...his speed factor is very enticing, but the run stopping and some pass rush that Ragland brings is unique for a MLB/ILB. I could go either way.

Derrick Shelby of the Dolphins is now an Atlanta Falcon! He's a DE

Admittedly I had to read up on him, but this sounds like Clayborn type skillset with maybe a little more explosiveness....he could turn out to be good...I hope they don't pay Sanu $7m per though...he's just not that good imo.

So did I, didn't know much about him. I don't mind Sanu, I like him in a bigger role in a good offense.

Reports are Chris Long is coming to visit us today as well.

Sanu...I'm not anti Sanu...I'm anti Sanu at $7m per.

Having seen him play PIT twice a yr for the last 3 or 4 yrs...something is missing there...at his size, he was the 5th most targeted WR in CIN LY that was after being the #2 guy in '14...that's not $7m per material.

I heard driving in this morning that he was in town yesterday and an offer was made last evening...apparently he didn't sign, that tells me he didn't get the money he was looking for....the way Shanny likes to flood WR1...fans will quickly grow against Sanu I think.

I would've preferred Benjamin or Marvin Jones (who signed for less than $7m per).

Long? Interesting.
