I guess we'll wait and see what the details of the contract are, but the 3 years is curious to me. Even if it's dirt cheap I still can't help but wonder what it is they like so much about him. Maybe we get a pleasant surprise on this one. I don't expect it at all of course.

Reject? Their fans wanted him back. He was a free agent.
He rejected the falcons
