[Mr. Scot]

Hooper was thought to be a candidate for the Falcons franchise tag.

 This is the first reported interest in Norman since he became available.

Dont know where that rumor started.

Dont even think they have the cap space to oay the tag at this point

It would make sense, way more sense than us.

Dimitroff adds that Atlanta would be open to either Hooper, Campbell or C Wes Schweitzer re-signing, but it would have to be at the right price.

Hooper is expected to be one of the top tight ends available and should move the tight end market north of the $10 million per year high watermark it sits at currently

Falcons currently have 4 mil in cap space. And it takes roughly 10 mil to sign draft picks

 

So they would need to clear up right at 16 mil in cap space Just to sign the draft picks and Hooper.  Thats not touching any other FA they have.

ESPN's Atlanta guy predicted that he'd be the one tagged if the Falcons used the Franchise Tag.

He also predicted they wouldn't use the Franchise Tag, and it's looking like they won't.

Wrong, no he wasn't, not even close.  He is an average player for them.

[Captain Morgan]

Atlanta's cap space is scary (for them), and that's just this year.  Next year?  Horrific.  Lots of changes coming for them.

Speaking of Buffalo, they likely will need to let Jordan Philips go who would be a super interesting NT to consider for us.

Yup

Freeman is going to be a cap casualty, and even then, thatll just put then at 7 mil in space
