About time they release Jamal Anderson, he has not played since 2001!

I kid, I kid. When I read that though I forgot about Jamaal Anderson the DE for Atlanta versus Jamal Anderson the former RB for Atlanta.

Anderson is a similar player to Spears.

Never really watched jenkins. Would he be a serviceable third wide out?

He's not really a slot receiver, he'll get the money to be a #2 somewhere. He's pretty respectable.

Yeah, I liked him out or Arkansas. He played out of position as a 4-3 DE for most of his career until they moved him inside. I think he'd be suited for a 3-4 DE and I wouldn't mind bringing him in for really cheap.

Don't know about that, I think he'll take a #3 job on a good team if he can get it.

Who says he would have to line up in the slot? In 3 WR sets you could have Dez,Jenkins and Miles in the slot.

We have a third wideout in Ogletree? Let's stop with the free agent third wideout! We need to address our secondary or dl in F/a not wideout!

? is right. Do we? He has yet to show that is he. Just claiming it does not make it so.

You always try to make your team better

I live in ATL and Jenkins was a serviceable number 2. If we could bring him as a number 3 then we would be stacked. He has some drop issues, but other than that he is pretty solid :).

Austin Dez Jenks Witten Jones

That would be a killer 5 wide set :)

Jenkins is a solid WR. Someone will get a good #2 with that guy.
