C-Mart28 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The Falcons have released veteran defensive tackle, Rod Coleman. The team could also be on the brink of releasing up to a dozen players including: QB Byron Leftwich QB Joey Harrington RB Warrick Dunn WR Joe Horn S Lawyer Milloy LB Keith Brooking. From Jets Central via Atlantic-Journal Constitution So any one we might be interested in? Im thinking one of the QBs for backup if Pennington's gone.

Alk Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Nice, Keith Brooking would be a nice addition for the Patriots at ILB and I wouldn't mind seeing Milloy back for a little depth at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooking is the most likely with Milloy maybe having a slim chance. Not sure he left on real good terms and I don't think Belichick was much of a fan to begin with.

JonEJet Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You guys will get Zach If Brooking goes, which i seriously doubt because he is god down here, he'll stay in the NFC south with either NO, TB or CAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woudln't be suprirised if someone signed Milloy only to cut him in camp. I'd love to see Brooking get a call from the Jets FO...hopefully he doesn't hang up on them while laughing his ass off.

I wouldn't want to bring him in as a full time starter. He would be fine as a situational player. Maybe play a little free safety on obvious running downs. Him and Harrison both would be like a couple extra linebackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh team also announced it had released cornerback Lewis Sanders, wide receiver Jamin Elliott, linebacker Marcus Wilkins and defensive tackle Rod Coleman. "This is a difficult day for the entire organization," Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff said in a statement from the team.

These decisions weren't easy, but we felt they were necessary to build a team in the long-term best interest of the Falcons and its fans." Crumpler, who just completed his seventh season, all with Atlanta, has 316 career catches for 4,212 yards and 35 touchdowns. He had been with the team since 2001 and was selected to five Pro Bowls.

Bravejamriot Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Crumpler would be good. Him and baker in a 2 TE set would be great over the middle. Still would need someone to stretch the field though. Either of those QBs could end up here if Pennington is traded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either of those QBs could end up here if Pennington is traded? i highly highly doubt it. lefty is way too much $$ and i would never touch joey harrington.

Alk Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'll take Leftwich and Crumpler for $2,000.00 Alex What are you going to do with Leftwich?

khesanh Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 What are you going to do with Leftwich? You already have the original slow, average qb from Marshall. Why go for the cheap immitation? Stronger arm and can stretch the field (As a back up). With the addition of Crumpler, Coles, and Cotchery we can do some damage. Also, with free agent aqcuisition on the O-line we can focus on defense early in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Crumpler would be a decent pickup if we could get him cheap. The Falcons will really challenge Miami for the first overall pick next year IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
