What that means is that the next time we lose a Marcus Williams, Terron Armstead, or Trey Hendrickson it may be the Falcons signing them. Cam Jordan may finish his career a Falcon if we dont keep up with them in cap space. With how perfectly Fontenot timed dumping Jones and Ryan, it would be foolish to doubt him on dumping an injured Jones. He is not the perfect GM. He made a mistake drafting a TE at #4 overall, the position it too unpredictable to ever be worth that high a pick and in hindsight clearly Chase, Waddell, or Horn would have been better. But Fontenott is doing a much better job as GM than Loomis. The Falcons have the same record as the Saints and they have done it with $110 million less of future money committed and they still have a 1st round pick to add a QB and they dont have future suspensions looming over key players for next year.

There's some validity to what Bako posted. It's just the delivery.
