And I correct myself, his contract is 6 years $48 million not $38 million.


I think I have agreed with everything you have said in this thread. I think this was a smart move by the falcons to get more draft picks to help fill some holes. That along with the acquisition of Joe horn and the FB from the Ravens(can't remember his name) I think the falcons have a good chance this year(Although I thought that last year as well). I don't understand why people are so reluctant to see Shaub go. He's only started one game, I really don't think that he can do anything Shockley can't do as the back-up.
