Aubrayo Franklin is a bum… We need a goo NT in order to SQUEEZE one more mediocre year out of GRAND-DADDY Abraham and see what Edwards can do on the other side… SMH… We sign Samuel, that’s good… We need to figure out how to keep Grimes and even Duanta if he agrees to restructure! Sadly, my suspicions are the Falcons are about to DEAL Grimes away, hence him signing the franchise deal… I’d love to have all three of them in the backfield with Moore, and we could easily be in the top 5 in pass defense with Nolan running the Defense…
