Good pickup imo

Three's a crowd. Here's to the three CB's repeating what the Eagles did this last season.

Per a league source, Atlanta has agreed to terms on a 3-year, $18.5M deal for Asante Samuel. So trade will likely go through soon.

Edit: Saw he signed his Tender.

What the fug are they going to do with 3 CBs that are all highly paid?

watch them tackle running backs 15 yards downfield.

3 year $18.5MM? So how much is that guaranteed? We could have signed him for that. Good pickup by ATL.

Loosing to the saints isnt an option. Good signing fo sho.

Not that I wanted him here since he's getting old, but I'm really starting to question the stubborn ways of our FO and our "we're fine" attitude. I've said it many times before, if you're not getting better, you're either getting worse or saying the same. And since our D was trash last season (Beason and Davis will not magically make us contenders), it's still trash now. We have no clue if they thought about Asante, but I'd like to see our D get better via a pro-active stance, and not a "we'll be fine", "we believe in what we have" mindset.

Beason and Davis may not be the magic saviors of our defense, but Ron Edwards will be.

Wooooooooooooooooo!

i really think this is a good fit. something the falcons definitely needed and did not get from robinson. still need significant pass rush to be successful. wonder where that is going to come from aside from 6.5 good abraham games.

We live in the division with the best QB's of any division out there.

To survive, and make the playoffs, you much rush the passer, and stop the pass.

Hence, my wishing for a DT, or CB.
