The Associated Press: Falcons, Turner Agree to Deal (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jM_wWMqXZ26Bz20MVVJS0xNw8vuwD8V5HDJ01)
Nice pick up for the Falcons. Probably means the end of the road for Dunn in Atlanta

I'm very curious to see how much ATL paid for him.
Dunn is one of the nicest guys in the league. Tons of respect for him. He had a great career.

Also means end of the road for McFadden. No way they draft him now. Of course it seems like they're infatuated with Matt Ryan which in my opinion is a mistake. The guy had an 84 Pro QB rating his senior year. Plus the Falcons don't have a QB guru to develop him.

I thought Turner would end up in Carolina

I think it was somewhere around $35-40 million for 6 years. $12-15 million signing bonus

ESPN - Source: Turner to get approximately $15M guaranteed from Falcons - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3273710)
ESPN reports 6yrs. 34M, $ 15M guaranteed. Good for Turner. He's a great talent.

Definitely a good deal for Turner and the Falcons. Looks like the Falcons don't have Dunn in their plans anymore. I think Turner and Norwood will probably be a pretty good combo next year.

The contracts being handed out this year are quite simply astounding. I wonder what Andre Carter and ARE would command on today's market. My guess is we got them at about 2/3 the price they would get on today's market.

I think the rational here is similar to the way the Redskins feel aobut Moss and ARE. In Dunn and Norword the Falcons had two scat backs. Turner on the other hand is a power runner (he's still pretty fast but his style of play is based on power). Now with Norwood and Turner they have a pair of thunder and lightning.
Oh yeah lets sign Warrick Dunn for the veteran minium....da de da....I am so smart......blah blah blah.....go me.......4 great justice........la de da....some 1 please understand that this last part is a joke...blah blah blah.
