Jay Glazer: Falcons Ink Sean Weatherspoon To Five Year Deal

Hat tip also goes to DEMBIRDZCUZ!, who mentioned this in the comments. Myself, Jason or Adam will have more on this later, I'm sure, but for now discuss how good it feels to have 'Spoon and our entire draft class locked up.

Awesome!

This is great! Got the big guy signed, sealed, and delivered! Now, let’s get it on, as Mills Lane would say. We are now in football mode, albeit it’s training camp. Can’t wait for this season to get started!

It's a chronic issue

I think he should just change his name to Sean Wikiwikiweatherwitherspoon.

I did, man, and I was planning to give you a shout-out in an extended post

But you’ve outed yourself. Let no man say our readers don’t work the news!

Sorry :-)

Can i still be in the post and you just delete it or somthing? I got kinda jealous at first.

Nobody has read it yet. so it seems

by LORD91 on Jul 29, 2010 5:38 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions

No worries, man

I’ll give you your proper due.

I think this is about where I would have expected ’Spoon to sign, especially because all the other first rounders are juuust starting to fall into place.

oh yeah

I knew before Sean Weatherspoon knew. I am that good.

Daaaamn! You are good.

I think we all used our faith to get him here. All credit goes to THE Falcoholics.

Rule #1: Double tap.

Oh My...

Where’s the Hulkster when we need him?

by XBEARDX on Jul 30, 2010 8:58 AM EDT up reply actions

This signing was really weird

I was talking to him about Sean Weatherspoon and how I didn’t want him to hold out, and we both got the ESPN text about 25 seconds after the conversation

Pre-season will not start soon enough!

17 mil and 8 million guaranteed

Good to get Spoon in at start of camp

1st game is soon

He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is

Congrats Falcons

2 more players in NFC South to go

Are you that guy that looks like a clown on the cover of madden?

Not brees the other dude with his shirt off.

The guy in my avatar picture might be

I just found it funny, a nun with a Hitler mustache.

The way I see it, we have a 1/32 chance on repeating and winning the Super Bowl again. If you need an elite QB to win a Super Bowl we have a 1/3 shot at winning the Superbowl. If you need an elite coach then we have a 1/2 shot at winning the Super Bowl. If you need an elite city and a elite fan base to win a Super Bowl then we are the only logical choice so we have a 100% shot at winning the Super Bowl! We are New Orleans, this our city and this is OUR TIME!!!!!!!!!
