Ray Edwards? I'll take it.

Thank you TD!

Ray Edwards? I'll take it.

Falcons agreed to terms with DE Ray Edwards on a five-year, $30 million contract.
It's a huge get for the Falcons. Edwards' 16.5 sacks over the past two seasons in Minnesota are impressive, even if most of them came against single blocks. He forms a dominant bookend on the left side with right end John Abraham, one of the best sack-artists in the league. Still just 26, Edwards has major upside left as a disruptor of passing attacks. His market was slow to develop mostly because of character concerns. Atlanta can now trot out a three-defensive end rotation of Abraham, Edwards, and the highly underrated Kroy Biermann.

I'll take it. Maybe Peria Jerry will step up this season now.

Now let's get Weems, Grimes, and Blalock their new deals and focus on starting this season healthy. Also hopefully another CB and maybe a WR or TE.

As long as Edwards stays healthy and motivated, he'll be a beast on that d-line.

[Sharkweather]

Well not the biggest loss with Dahl going to St. Louis, hopefully some of the young guys are ready to step in.

[NAHSTE]

I will miss Dahl's nasty demeanor and physicality but between Clabo, Blalock and Dahl I guess he was the one I was most willing to see go.

Still sucks though.

We stole your punter bitches.

He's more of a kick-off specialist than a punter... We got our replacement through the draft anywayz!

You're going to need him.

Lets hope. Big losing a player you franchised twice.

So good you had to give him $20 million.

Falcons kept him around 2 years and payed him the minimum, the Bucs made him the highest paid punter because he gets a lot of touchbacks on kick offs... Thomas Dimitroff wins.

Which reminds me... Charles Johnson for 72 mil/6 years or Ray Edwards for 30 mil/5 years... Dimitroff wins AGAIN

That Charles Johnson deal is horrendous.

Only 6 mill guaranteed, front loaded and incentive laced.
