Turry 755 Posted February 22, 2012 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Mark Bradley predicts the Falcons will apply the franchise tag to free agent CB Brent Grimes.The columnist concedes it's a "semi-educated guess," which is noteworthy just a few days after beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter reported the Falcons will be "reluctant" to use the tag on Grimes. It's a tough decision for GM Thomas Dimitroff, as Grimes saw a downtick in interceptions, missed four games with a knee injury, and turns 29 in July. Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Mark Bradley expects the Falcons to keep Michael Turner for 2012. Bradley is a columnist with a "semi-educated guess" as opposed to working the Falcons beat. While he addresses Turner's non-existent trade value, Bradley skirts over the possibility of the Falcons flat-out releasing the 30-year-old back due $5 million while running on fumes. It's a lot of money to pay a player looking at a reduced role. Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted February 22, 2012 Headline is a little misleading. There's just an Atlanta journalist speculating that the Falcons will tag Grimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted February 26, 2012 Brent Grimes is a very good CB, and he deserves to be paid... But franchising him is not the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
