He's better at it than Hall. I've seen him seal many games, and notice the falcons held on to him and released the other 2 starters grimes and Robinson

Saying he's better than Hall isn't saying much. Hall is one of the worst rated CBs in the league.

Also, they haven't released Grimes as he's a UFA. Grimes was their Franchise tagged player last year and commanded a 10+ million salary. He's very much on their radar.

Robinson? He was cut purely for money.

Robinson turns 31 in April and was entering the back-end of his contract, which had three seasons and $29.5 million remaining, including an $8 million base salary and $9 million cap number in 2013.

Considering Asante had the cheaper contract, it's not hard to see why they cut him over AS. You cut a player with a 8 million salary or a 3 million?


Even last year, DR had a much higher salary cap and it wasn't going to get any better this season.
