Jaguars and falcons to pursue Julius Thomas

[Floppin]

It's the exact same argument OP was using to discredit JT.

You can't just take his TDs away, just like you can't take away JT's TDs.

And Cam is getting those numbers in a pass happy modern NFL offense where every rookie QB is going to be stacking up retarded yardage.

The nfl in general may have trended towards pass happiness but our ball-control Shula ball has been anything but.

[CelticCat]

I wouldn't be surprised if they throw $8M+ per year at Hardy.

 

I think I'd throw up if that happened.

 

What's their cap situation?

 

[hepcat]

Jacksonville will get him.  I'm hoping the best for our fellow cat bro expansion team

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

They're still absolute balls on both lines

This will be like the third year in a row that the falcons made some blockbuster signing and everybody poo their pants only for them to suck again because they can't protect their quarterback or stop a grocery bag floating in the wind.

[Snake]

One of the worst pass blocking TEs in the NFL... hmmm feast Dline.

Lol remember when Atlanta turned the corner and was going to run roughshod over the NFC south because they signed osi umenyiora and Steven Jackson

[Hotsauce]

Guise, guise...don't forget about Jacksonville

[Sasquatch]

julius thomas is a pretty average tight end if you take away his touchdown catches.

 

[Mojo]

They are rumored to be targeting maxwell too, pairing him with Trufant. Julius thomas is a good te. Yes he benefitted from Peyton but thomas will be playing with julio jones and roddy white. Quite a group there and Matt Ryan is no scrub Qb.

They're absolutely in love with the idea of a stud secondary and have always made moves like that. Dunta Robinson back when he was a high profile FA, asante Samuel, spending high picks on DBs. It's not surprising.

According to below, $22.69M

Is Peyton Manning going to Atlanta too?

[PntherPryd]

Falcons are desperate to be taken seriously.  Pathetic.  Is there a FA they aren't "interested in"?  

 

NO.  Because they are all upgrades.

 

 

A source tells ESPN that the Falcons will have "strong interest" in free agent RB Justin Forsett.

Forsett is coming off a career-year in a Gary Kubiak offense that has the same principles as the one Kyle Shanahan is installing in Atlanta. He also won't be overly expensive considering he turns 30 years old in October. The Falcons likely have interest in Forsett as a tandem piece with Devonta Freeman, who they've talked up relentlessly this week. Forsett is our No. 5 free agent RB, behind DeMarco Murray, C.J. Spiller, Ryan Mathews and Mark Ingram. Feb 20 - 12:12 PM
