Falcons Sign RB Turner

[freddyg12]

I don't disagree w/Turner being a good rb, but I don't see paying that much for one. On that note, I always disagreed w/the Champ - Portis deal & feel we paid too much for him. Now though, he is very important to the team as a leader & is a good rb.

I don't know if Turner has that intangible effect on his team, or can have it, but rb is a position that these days is easy to fill via the draft in later rounds. With all of Atlanta's needs, they could use the $ on either side of the line, or in looking for Deangelo Hall's replacement if they're going to trade him.

They might still, but I don't see the need to pay a rb this much when your in total rebuilding mode.
