Dont know where that rumor started.

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

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.

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

Yup

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

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
