    Falcons Cleared $9 mil in cap space...

    possibly creating room for Price?

    Just one day after the Atlanta Falcons used some of their available salary cap space to re-sign star linebacker Keith Brooking to a lucrative new contract, the club created some much-needed wiggle room, releasing three veterans and saving more than $9 million on the league spending limit.


    The primary component of the moves, however, was cap-related. The team will save $3.125 million by releasing Ambrose, $2.6 million on Jefferson, and $3.3 million on Dronett. Total cap savings: $9.025 million
    Someone said, that with the Brookings deal the Falcons don't have money to make a deal for Price. Well, now they have more than enough room.

        I don't know what we would want from them as a trade. Their 1st round pick is way in the bottom. There's no one on their team that pops out at me.

        Any suggestions?

          But the one big warning sign is that they did cut a WR, possibly making room for Price.

            There first round pick is still 25 picks before our first pick. I think Price is worth moving up 25 spots.

              i think the trade will involve more than one pick... or a pick and a player.. if it happens at all..

                  Only one on that team I would want is Brooking but the deal he was given means he's staying put which sux!

                    Both TD and GW are playing dumb. Either they have no thoughts of trading PP, or, more likely, they just have no intentions of tipping their hand. All they've said about PP is how important he is not only to the offence, but the whole team. I'm not sure how much more than the 23rd spot in round 1 the Bills can hope to get for PP. After all, it was not that long ago that people were talking about letting him test free agency where all Buffalo would have gotten would be a (3rd round?) compensatory pick next year. Various mocks have anywhere from 4 to 7 (I even saw one I think where 8) DTs have been picked in round one. The 23rd pick in the draft would not put Buffalo in a position to draft Kennedy, Robertson, or Joseph, but they would have better odds of getting one of that top group of seven or eight (Kevin Williams, Johnathon Sullivan, Kenny Peterson, Rein Long, Ty Warren). That's better than we could have done otherwise.
                    I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                    I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                      I'd love to see us get two first rounders for Price, but... I'd also love to see us keep him - either way, we win.

                        There's a couple of other players on that defense we certainly could use. It's not all just Wade.

                          Just heard John Clayton said that TD would probably trade Price to Atlanta for nothing more than their 1st rounder.

                          Can't believe Price is worth that little. I'd ask for a 1st rounder AND a later rounder, at least.

                            What he's worth and what we could get are two different things though. Although I do think we could get better than the #23 overall pick. I'd think a top 10, at least.

                              A first rounder is a heck of a lot more than the nothing we would have gotten if he had just gone a FA.


                              TD has pretty much said he is not going to pay Peerless the money he wants. If he can get a first rounder for him instead of nothing I think he is a genius!
