@vxmcclure23: Saints are one of the teams that have inquired about Falcons CB Robert McClain. Spoon and Bobby Mac in NOLA?

Restricted free agent and would cost us a 7th if they didn't match.

Thoughts?


*WB504 with the breaking scoop.

I would take it for the right price... I can deal with losing the 7th round pick.

He might be unrestricted now. My WB504 source is uncertain.

They will match unless they sign Maxwell, who I hear the Eagles are will to pony up +10mil for.

As a cheap nickel? Sure. As a number two? Hell no.

Are we all forgetting about Stanley jean Baptiste? He's our future.

I haven't completely given up on SJB, but it's not looking to good right now. Hoping he can at least provide some depth this year

I am with you

This is his background from last year

McClain has been one of the league's worst cover corners as the Falcons' slot man the past couple seasons. We might as well keep Cory White

Agreed, if we are talking about Robert Alford i'm all for it, but Atlanta isn't giving that guy away

He's a bad corner but did ok (just ok) as Atlanta's nickel. PRob is better than McClain IMO. Not much better, but a little better.

Serious? At least two starters per team....64. Add a nickel and he is 57 out of 96. Not great, but not many of the top 64 guys are looking for jobs.

Thats more of a 4-5 CB seems like?

I hope we sign Prob for the 3rd spot.

PRob is gonna go to Miami. Not official yet but it's leaning that way.
