Bruce Irvin cut by Raiders

[SHOWTIME15]

Translation: I don’t want to win and work hard. I just want to continue to be mediocre.

I’m guessing he wants to play for Dan Quinn, his DC in Seattle.

 

[BadMoFo]

Sounds like we and the Steelers offered more money but he wanted to play in front of his hometown.

DE Bruce Irvin to @vxmcclure23 after agreeing to terms with Falcons: “This was a dream [come] true. The Patriots and Steelers offered more money, but being able to play for my city and my people, you just can’t put a price on that.”

Even though he didn't pick us, at least he didn't pick the Steelers either.

The Falcons aren't that bad. Maybe he's just one of those people who hates the cold. Kind of stupid if you're a football player but still.

No great loss.

Falcons aren’t going anywhere in the nfc.. will probably make the playoffs but most likely a 1st round exit.

I’m not saying I wanted the guy, but if he wanted a chance to get to the super bowl the Patriots would have been the best choice of teams interested.

He should have signed a 1 year deal with NE and at least have a better opportunity to get a ring and then sign with his home town team after it expires.

Hogwash..

Obviously Irvin likes Dan Quinn *sighs*.

Him joining the Falcons essentially becomes moot. He won’t affect us.

Would’ve been nice had he signed here though.

 

[PatriotReign]

Shame we didn't have the space to claim him.

Yep. Total BS. Has nothing to do playing in front of his peeps. Hes back playing in Quinn's D.

Pleased BB really wanted the guy and was agressive. Oh well.

Would have been an overpay

 

[PatriotReign]

Sure but he wouldn't have a choice in being here.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I wonder what they offered and what ATL is paying him.

 

[Bradyking12]

Sucks but at least he didn't go to a threat.

 

[Love The Drake]

I want to see that beast on the PS we have.

 

[blackglass3]

Eh, he went the comfortable route. Best of kluc, ope he is happy back with Quinn and in his home area.

Falcons have Tough closing Schedule too @ Saints @ Green bay @ Carolina and @ Jeckll/Hyde Bucs. With Four losses already they only have two more to spare to go 10-6. So Irvin passed up a chance to go to a Team that will probably get a Bye to one who we might barely make the playoffs.

 

[The Brandon Five]

He stayed away from the AFC East b/c he is still afraid of Brandon Bolden.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Hey bruce, we didn’t want ya anyway! Hmph

Some of these players don’t think with their heads. They think with their hearts. He’s taking less money to play for a team that may not make the playoffs? Um, ok...
