Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord!
Just thinking about Justin Houston in an Atlanta Falcons jersey makes me so excited. Kroy Biermann will walk away from Atlanta once and for all, so _________ (whomever is the GM next season) make the move and bring number 50 into the Falcons!
Forget Doug Free money, forget Mike Lupati money. This is a whole other dimension of cap space that will be gone. But if the Dirty Birds let the right players walk away without giving them money, they will have enough to account for the sack machine. Don’t believe me?

He has 12 sacks already…. We’re barely halfway through the season, and the kid already notched up 12 sacks. Seven years for 80 million is worth it for a player that is living up to his potential, which is endless.
