This ... this is not ideal news, but at least it's something. After waiting several days now to see how the Atlanta Falcons free agency plan would unfold, it sounds like answers won't start rolling in until Friday. D. Orlando Ledbetter got the following quick quote from Tyson Clabo, the Falcons No. 1 prize this offseason:
"We're still talking, D. Led. I'll definitely know something tomorrow."
At this point you have to think the Falcons are waiting to re-sign Clabo before proceeding with further plans. Looking at the team's list of free agents, I could imagine Clabo, Brent Grimes and one of the two guards are the only top-shelf priorities, now that Stephen Nicholas has been re-signed. We'll hopefully get to hear about Julio Jones and Jacquizz Rodgers signing soon, too.
Osi Umenyiora rumors continue, and are rumors.
