Falcons FB Griffith poised for free agency
Negotiations between team, agent stalled

Falcons fullback Justin Griffith appears set to become the team's second veteran starter to venture into free agency according to his agent Michael McCartney.
There has been limited negotiations between the Falcons and the versatile fourth-year running back and both sides seemingly will turn in different directions. McCartney said Tuesday he is not completely ruling out Griffith re-signing with Atlanta but he will test the free-agent market for the best financial and playing situations.
I'll say it very simply. Griffith is fantastically underrated. The way that the Atlanta scheme worked required Griffith to know who to block, where to go in the second level, and which hole the HB would pick. Warrick Dunn is a good running back made great by Griffith, as opposed to Mack Strong and Lorenzo Neal, who, although good fullbacks, had the advantage of blocking for Alexander and Tomlinson.
He's a back that has good hands and can actually do something after the catch.
