Falcons Sign RB Turner

The Associated Press: Falcons, Turner Agree to Deal

Nice pick up for the Falcons. Probably means the end of the road for Dunn in Atlanta

Re: Falcons Sign RB Turner

I'm very curious to see how much ATL paid for him.

Dunn is one of the nicest guys in the league. Tons of respect for him. He had a great career.

I think it was somewhere around $35-40 million for 6 years. $12-15 million signing bonus

ESPN - Source: Turner to get approximately $15M guaranteed from Falcons - NFL

ESPN reports 6yrs. 34M, $ 15M guaranteed. Good for Turner. He's a great talent.

Also means end of the road for McFadden. No way they draft him now. Of course it seems like they're infatuated with Matt Ryan which in my opinion is a mistake. The guy had an 84 Pro QB rating his senior year. Plus the Falcons don't have a QB guru to develop him.

I think Matt Ryan will be pretty damn good. Look at who he had to help him on that offense, only maybe 1 of those guys will play at the NFL level. Considering his supporting cast, Ryan was unbelievable.

Re: Falcons Sign RB Turner

Definitely a good deal for Turner and the Falcons. Looks like the Falcons don't have Dunn in their plans anymore. I think Turner and Norwood will probably be a pretty good combo next year.

I think the rational here is similar to the way the Redskins feel aobut Moss and ARE. In Dunn and Norword the Falcons had two scat backs. Turner on the other hand is a power runner (he's still pretty fast but his style of play is based on power). Now with Norwood and Turner they have a pair of thunder and lightning.

Oh yeah lets sign Warrick Dunn for the veteran minium....da de da....I am so smart......blah blah blah.....go me.......4 great justice........la de da....some 1 please understand that this last part is a joke...blah blah blah.

Re: Falcons Sign RB Turner

The contracts being handed out this year are quite simply astounding. I wonder what Andre Carter and ARE would command on today's market. My guess is we got them at about 2/3 the price they would get on today's market.

Totally! Carter would be like 100 Million with his 10.5 sacks for us last year. Justin Smith didn't do shit and look what he got. This is just silly.

Carter would certainly be the best DE in the market if he were a FA.
ARE, well, unsure of why you lumped them in together. He would not get close to the contract we gave him from what he's done over the past two years.
