Dunta Robinson was released because he was trash in zone coverage, Chris Owens was the #5 corner on our roster played more special teams than anything(you could replace him) and Brent Grimes played a total of 3 quarters last season. We still have time to sign another veteran corner or another end or we could even draft a corner or end with our 1st and 2nd round picks.

Michael Turner and Steven Jackson both came out of the same draft class and Turner had thousands of less miles on him that Jackson does since Turner was primarily a back up his 1st 3 seasons. Jackson is a wash at best and certainly not an upgrade at the position. Both were in decline. Osi is no upgrade to Abraham. Osi is a terrible run defense end and his pass rush was non-existent even playing on a better line. The best thing to happen to Atlanta this offseason was Gonzalez returning.
