Gino Atkins being released

[Dre11]

No this is the type of move they like doing, I've hated it in the pass, but I would be ok taking a flyer on him

 

[conner01]

It would take some real dedication on his part to get in the shape he would need to be a real impact player another year

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Still only 32, that’s surprising, seems like he’s been in the league for 15 years

 

[nightrain]

I done with trying 30+ guys on the DL.

 

[Big D]

Get him!

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Nah. After Poe and McCoy, I’m done with these used-up DTs.

He's nowhere near the sloth Poe was

 

[AKATheRake]

Brought this up last year.

lol at least sloths are thin. Poe was such a fat sloppy lazy ******* last season.

 

[Avery]

Ignore the name for a bit and focus on the production. Atkins hasn't been that great for a few years now.

If it was a cheapo one-year deal, that's one thing, but my guess is he'll return to Cinci on a team-friendly deal.

I don't know. I think Urban is better than him when it comes to 3T, and I don't think he can play 1T, so I'm going to have to say no to him. He's a good player, but I just don't see the fit here with him.

 

[AmishCowboy]

He's washed

 

[J12B]

Go after him.

1 year deal with incentives.

we're already doing the McCoy thang,..and i have concerns this McCoy project role is not gonna work out - per durability.
Like McCoy, Atkins can probably be extended and paced in a more limited role. Aging and on the decline.
Not near what he used to be. Probably made last couple pro bowl invites off past resume and known name.

 

[Verdict]

How about we pass on the washed up retreads and focus on the future. How about a motivated young player with no money trying to make a team and make a name for himself.

You guys forget that all of these previously dominant players started out young and hungry.

Lots of wear and tear. No thanks.

This man had a 92 grade



Nevermind that was career grade

 

[maryquality]

Maybe if this was 2 -3 years ago.

What?

 

[nightrain]

What?

according to the write up in nfl.com, he played in 8 games and had 1 tackle. 3rd best?
