According to ESPN.com, backup quarterback Chris Redman has agreed to a new contract to stay in Atlanta. The seven-year veteran just finished his third season with the Falcons after coming back from retirement. Redman did not take a snap as Matt Ryan’s backup in 2008 but played in three games in 2009.

Birdseed: February 17, 2010

By J. Michael Moore | Published: February 17, 2010
It’s been almost two weeks since the Super Bowl and — much to the joy of some ad executives — one commercial is still making the rounds.

If owners and players can’t agree on a new collective bargaining agreement before the start of the signing period, more than 200 players [...]

Looking for a Reason to Feel Super?

By J. Michael Moore | Published: January 25, 2010
Falcons fans have 13 days to make a very tough decision but, when Super Bowl XLIV kicks off in South Florida on Feb. 7, minds must be made up. Are you rooting for the Saints? Atlanta and New Orleans have, perhaps, the most storied rivalry in the NFC South. Based, in part, on shared futility the Saints [...]

Birdseed: December 18, 2009

By J. Michael Moore | Published: December 18, 2009
Early this week Falcons players were blasted with questions about playoff chances.
