Moeaki is a Falcon

I hope he doesn't hurt himself signing his contract.

Best of luck to the guy!

Too bad he wasn't on the roster for 2 years, want them comp picks

Moeaki could be very useful if he stayed healthy, it's a shame he can't.

I wonder if we take a look at Finley again this year, though I'm guessing we look for one of the better blocking TEs later on in the draft.

I heard he is doing an e signature on the phone but also that he is taking precaution by gargling with salt water and sipping honey and lemon water to protect his throat.

I don't think that matters, NE will get a 3rd round compensatory for Revis.

But it doesn't matter because we already have lost 5 players who (most likely) have signed for more than whatever Moeaki will get from ATL

I think they will feel pretty set with Graham, Willson, McCoy, Helfet, and Gilliam (as the blocking TE).

They still need a Miller replacement in terms of someone who can block very well and pose some receiving threat. McCoy's probably the best all round guy out of those, but he's hardly spectacular and just missed two straight seasons through injury.

You only have to have been with the previous team for the full season prior, not two. Also the Hawks are already +5 in the comp pick formula, and Moeaki very likely could have singed with ATL for the veteran minimum, which would make him ineligible for the formula anyway.....never mind the fact that he would have to stick with the Falcons through mid-season this year, which seems unlikely in and of itself.
