KEEP AN EYE ON ATLANTA​

We've picking up uncorroborated rumors that running back Michael Turner has agreed to terms with the Falcons.​

Again, these rumors are uncorroborated. ​

We assume that someone in the "real" media will seize the baton and run with it.​

AWESOME! Now we know there is a 100 percent chance the Dirty Birds are going Matt Ryan and we hold the cards!

it actually hurts us. now only 1 team in the top 5 has a RB need. Oakland. ho knows, maybe Oakland wants McFadden bad and would of had to trade up to us to get him, now they dont. they could probably sit back and watch McFadden fall into their lap.

if ATL wants Ryan, and we aint picking them. STL has Bulger so they aint picking him. they can sit at 3 and pick him. they only thing i could see now is if Cheifs have a hard on for Ryan, they may trade up to us to get him.
