Ray Edwards Rumors & News

The Falcons haven't always drafted well, and not every signing has been a brilliant one. In some instances, the team realizes that fairly early and cuts ties, a la Ray Edwards. Sometimes it takes a little longer. With all the additions to the roster this off-season, however, it's fair to wonder if a few familiar Falcons will be moving on in the next couple of months.When teams can get younger and cheaper while getting just about the same value, they tend to do so, and that could spell doom for more than a couple of players. Here's my list of possibilities: RB Jason Snelling Big Snell ...

Acknowledging your issues is no guarantee you'll solve them. It's worth putting that caveat out front, because I come to praise Malliciah Goodman.
