Atlanta Falcons News and Rumors from Pro Football Insider

Atlanta Falcons

Tuesday Sep 7th, 2010

The Dallas Cowboys said they would not pursue Ray Lewis, and they didn't lie. Today they signed former Falcons LB Keith Brooking to a 3 year deal. It's a good addition for the Cowboys, a good leader and locker room presence for a team in desperate need of that. For the Falcons just the opposite. They have lost Brooking and Michael Boley and will be retooling their defense... The Giants have signed former Falcons LB Michael Boley to a 5 year $25 million deal. They are also pursuing Seahawks DT Rocky Bernard and Cowboys DE Chris Canty, who would play tackle for them. If they don't land one of them, Cardinals lineman Antonio Smith would be next. Their top priority is at defensive tackle as shown by their pursuit of Albert Haynesworth... Well the Ravens have stopped losing... I think. With their players in demand they struck a deal with former Falcons CB Domonique Foxworth on a 4 year deal worth $28 million with $16.5 guaranteed. That is where the I think part comes in. Foxworth is solid but not worth $7 million a year for 4 years. But with their secondary aging they needed some youth, now they have have it and paid dearly for it... The Chargers have resigned guard Kynan Forney to a 2 year deal worth $4.8 million. The kicker... he was on the team last year and never got off the bench. They better hope he starts this year. He is a good guard but a smaller more athletic type than the Chargers normally use. He was very good in Atlanta with the zone blocking scheme before coming to San Diego...
