John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports the Atlanta Falcons have contacted free agent RB Michael Turner (Chargers). The Falcons are trying to get Turner to visit Friday, Feb. 29.


turning smith into an olb isn't the greatest idea i've ever heard. turner is just what the falcons need. a guy that can break tackles and make plays... with norwood as the #2, this might mean mcfadden ain't the guy the falcons want, which is good, cause long, long, ellis, or possibly ryan could probably make a bigger impact for them.

no one's going to take him at that price i don't believe.

If I'm the Vikings, I would definitely consider giving up a 1st and a 3rd for Anderson.

I could see the Dolphins offering their 2nd (32nd pick, essentially a 1st) and a 4th or a pick next year for him. They probably have the worst QB situation in the NFL.

I heard yesterday that they are actually high on developing Beck and will likely go with him. But they'll probably look to add a veteran for insurance.

[Soup's Uncle]

The Dolphins should sign Brunell

Really? Sounds like they are ready to move ahead with Quinn, or are they just playing hardball with Anderson and are confident nobody is going to give up a 1st and a 3rd?

Browns are actually upping their offer. I'm sure it will cross the wires within the next hour

Interesting. I did think that 3 years $20M was a bit of a lowball offer.
