Jason Elam Has Left Denver, Signing a Four Year Deal with the Falcons
2008-03-21 22:57:00
The Jason Elam-Broncos relationship of 15 years, predating the Mike Shanahan era by 2 years, has ended. The Denver Post reports that Elam has declined a deal with the Broncos in preference of a 4 year, $9 million dollar deal with Atlanta. Denver had offered Elam a 3 year, $7 million dollar deal (notably worth ...

The Phinsider Community Mock Draft: Pick #3 - Atlanta Falcons
2008-03-18 17:39:00
With the second pick in The Phinsider Community Mock Draft, the St. Louis Rams select Jake Long, OT, Michigan. Jake Long finished with 67% of the vote.  He was followed by Vernon Gholston (21%) and Glenn Dorsey (7%). So that makes the draft so far look like this: Miami Dolphins - Chris Long, DE, Virginia (49%) St. Louis Rams - Jake Long, OT, Michigan (67%) Up next, with the 3rd pick, are the Atlanta Falcons.  Below are their needs, according to NFL Draft Countdown: 1. Quarterback: Neither Joey Harrington or Byron Leftwich were the long-term answer and even though Chris Redman played admirably late in the year this franchise needs a signal caller in the worst way. 2. Offensive Tackle: Wayne Gandy was sent packing and will need to be replaced at left tackle because it's highly unlikely that guys like Renardo Foster and Quinn Ojinnaka are starting material in the NFL. 3. Defensive Tackle: Rod Coleman was their one impact presence on the interior but he's gon...
Falcons DeAngelo Hall May Become Oakland Raider
2008-03-17 10:00:00
Personally, I think this move's a sign of the fall of the Atlanta Falcons. DeAngelo Hall may have been hot-headed at points, but his talent was unmistakable. I also think DHall was frustrated with the totally inept way the team was being ran under Bobby Petrino. Now it seems the Falcons are willing to part with a second round pick for Hall. What Atlanta will do without Hall remains to be seen, but I think they may have been swayed by some of Hall's poor performances in 2008. Yes, he's a great cornerback, but it seemed that his head wasn't in the game and he may have been trying to do everything he could to get Petrino out of there without, you know, getting him out of there. Still a bad and organizationally immature move.
Source: Falcons agree to trade CB Hall to Raiders
2008-03-15 16:39:00

Atlanta Falcons RELEASE TIGHT END ALGE CRUMPLER: Bruce do the RIGHT THING!
2008-02-16 00:34:00
The Atlanta Falcons have just released 5 Time Pro-Bowl Tight End Alge Crumpler reports ESPN.com. This is the greatest opportunity the Bucs could ever have to acquire a REAL Tight End. Sorry Alex, but Alge is a MAN and would be THE MAN in Tampa. Crumpler was set to make 3.4 Million this season, that is NOTHING. Chump change in this day in age. There is NO REASON why the Bucs can't-won't-shouldn't pursue and sign my man Alge Crumpler. Checkout his stats below: We all know Alge's had to work with some of the most erratic QB's in the League, Vick, Harrington, Leftwich etc.. He's been nothing but durable up until this season. Some might think of Crumpler as a prima donna for the way he outed then Head Coach Bobby Petrino last season. Alge's not that guy and never has been, he just got completely fed up with the hand he had been dealt and who can blame him? Come on Bruce Allen, bring FREE AGENT TIGHT END ALGE CRUMPLER TO THE CITY OF TAMPA AND NEVER LET HIM LEAVE!!! PLEASE and THA...

Atlanta Falcons to CUT RB Warrick Dunn? Return to Tampa?
2008-02-01 03:27:00
With the new Coaching Staff finally in place in Atlanta, there's increased chatter that former Bucs RB Warrick Dunn might get cut, as the new Coaching Staff wants to implement a Power Running game (Because that worked so well with T.J. Duckett). Warrick was asked about the possibility of being cut and what his options would look like: "If I wasn't a Falcon and I went back to Tampa or played for coach [Tony] Dungy, it would be something that's full circle," Dunn said. "It's not what I'm hoping for and wishing for, but you never know" - Atlanta Journal-Constitution To be honest, I would be tickled to have Warrick Dunn roaming the sidelines once again. I loved watching Warrick Dunn at Florida State and followed him to the Buccaneers in '96. I was pissed to see him go to the Falcons (what a bone-head move Rich) and it would be great to see Dunn return to Tampa and retire a Buccaneer. However, the competitive side of me wants no part of a Warrick Dunn reunion. I wish he never lef...

2008 NFL Mock Draft: Atlanta Falcons
2008-01-30 06:31:00
Previous Picks: 1) Miami Dolphins: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU2) St. Louis Rams: Jake Long, OT, MichiganThe Longest Mock Draft in NFL History Continues We've reached the point in the Mock Draft where every team sucks equally.So equally that, as of right now, we still don?t know for sure who?s picking third.Here?s how it breaks down:The Falcons, Raiders, Chiefs, and Jets all finished 4-12. Either the Falcons or the Raiders will pick third. The Jets don?t get to play because they sucked against better competition.The Chiefs don?t get to play because they sucked less than the Raiders against common opponents.So at the NFL Combine, the Raiders and Falcons will flip a coin. The winner picks third. The loser picks fourth?unless the Raiders win. If that happens, we get ANOTHER coin flip to decide if the Chiefs or Falcons pick fourth.Coin flips are stupid, so until the NFL decides otherwise we?re going with the Falcons picking third for a very simple reason: they were the worse of the two te...

Jaguars Defensive Coordinator Mike Smith to Atlanta Falcons
2008-01-23 18:59:00
[editor's note, by River City Rage]: I just read that Dave Campo, our Assistant Head Coach received permission to interview with the 49'ers during the Senior Bowl. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jaguars promote Campo in order to keep him, and with the inevitable opening in our Front Office, it's worth keep Campo in Jacksonville.Of course, as I type this KFFL says: Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Nolan said the club has decided not to hire Jacksonville Jaguars assistant head coach Dave Campo for their vacant defensive coordinator position. "I don't think he's ready to make any kind of decision," Campo said of Nolan. "I think he feels like he's a little bit rushed and doesn't want to do that. I don't have anything to report, other than it's status quo." Campo later added, "I'm going to move on."So who knows... From ESPN One of the best signs that you've "arrived" as an organization is when other teams start...
