but with any draft, guess you have to see the value of whos available when you pick. i love falcon fans assuming champ will automatically be on julio. more than likely that would be keenan lewis




I think that would be way too big of a miss match for Champ. The old champ would make for a great battle, but not the older now champ.

I agree with you, I see it being Lewis, with Byrd keeping his eye on Julio the entire time.

Don't be sure. If the 6.6 mil over 3 years is true, I see us matching it.




Now, would the Saints have to match the exact same contract, or could do the same amount of money and years, but on the own terms?


If they have to match the exact contract, I would think the Falcons gave him a lot of that money this first year.

Nope, you don't. Remember the Bush offer....plus consider your drafting position.

Well until we see the contract, we still have close to 9 mil.
With draft position, it is currently estimated we will need 4 million to sign them. The falcons will have room.

I don't Falcons would be able to take him away just by front loading. I believe it just needs to be the same total, but I might be wrong.

Ok consider you keep Bush at 2 mil or so a year...then consider your draft position. Then consider money spent to take Bunkley as opposed to money saved by Saints giving him up...get what I'm saying?

Sorry about the arse.... remark, you seem like a decent person. Not used to that from Atlanta fans.

Won't be as much as the Saints had given him.
Being cut this late in the game, he will probably take a friendlier contract than he had.

You very well could be right. But the one thing is, he very likely won't be cut until after June 1st at the earliest and if N.O. thinks Atlanta is laying in wait I could see them waiting until later than that.

How much did he get? Good signing if they got him cheap.

Is that verified? If so, then bye-bye Bush....or at least so I hope. That's too much for a backup safety....at least imo.
