Chiefs signed Peyton Hillis. If Jamaal Charles comes back healthy and Hillis doesn't retire or some dumb ? ... that's a great tandem. Now they just need a QB to get the ball downfield.

Douglas Wants to Retire with the Falcons
Jay Adams
Published March 14, 2012 at 4:13 PM
The free agency period was a strange one for wide receiver Harry Douglas, who agreed to terms on a new deal with the Falcons on Tuesday night. There was so much uncertainty, and a whole lot of people around him who were looking for it.
His phone would nearly blow up from all the calls, texts and tweets he received about his future. The questions hounded him.
What are you going to do? Where are you going? What are people saying?
After a while, he didn’t want to deal with it anymore.
“I just put my phones on silent and I just was relaxing,” Douglas said in a phone interview with AtlantaFalcons.com on Wednesday afternoon. “I was doing stuff on my own, and then people who I’m really, really close to or knew stuff about it, I would talk to them about it.”
Finally on Tuesday night, Douglas could turn his phones back on and accept all the congratulations and well-wishes on his new deal with Atlanta, a place that has always been home.
Douglas grew up here. His family is here. His friends are here. His home is here. All those factors made it a no-brainer when he was going through the negotiation process.
“I grew up watching the Falcons and me signing this contract now to come back, I made up my mind,” Douglas said. “I said, ‘I wouldn’t mind retiring one day just playing for one team.’ ”
That all but settled it as the deciding factor.
Now, Douglas — who says he basically lives at the Falcons’ complex in Flowery Branch, Ga., he’s here training so much — can get past the distraction and uncertainty of free agency and focus on the season ahead and his future in his hometown.
“I feel good. It’s always a blessing to come back to the team that drafted you,” he said. “For me, it’s a blessing to be home. Atlanta’s my home and it feels like home. It’s just great to be back here.”

Looks like we got HD for the long haul. I ? with that.
Yessir. I'm kinda mad that Special-Weems is gone, but he had a lame year last year anyway (especially for a contract year). Wonder who will return kicks now.
HD is one of my faves 'cause he has that big play ability from anywhere on the field.
Our success next year on offense won't be based on whether we get the rock to Julio or Roddy (cause we're already doing that), but it'll be based on if the new OC can figure out how to use HD. He's the difference between us having a average O and a elite one.

When I come in here and say you ? know ? about football. It's not just a slick comeback you ? literally don't know ? . I don't give a ? if Julio got 1500 yards on a 2 dollar contract. That trade was dumb as ? . Julio no where close to being a bust but that trade was a Fail. Y'all came back even ? in the playoffs finding out the hard way. That those draft picks were vital in improving Atlanta's defense.
Green Bay kicks your defense's ? in one year in the playoffs. And Instead of improving your defense through the draft to stop Aaron Rodgers. The Falcons figure "? we just need to out score them". DUMB ? ! Lmao
We got two starters out of the deal already and we still have to use your FIRST rounder this year. I'm sure that's another starter.
So you got Julio Jones: 54 rec 959 yrd (? said 1,000...smh thirsty!) Browns got WR Greg Little (Only started 11 games): 61 rec 709 and DT Phil Taylor (rookie started whole season on 5th ranked defense): 59 tack 4 sacks Phil Taylor got more tackles and sacks then both Falcon's starting DT's.......COMBINED!!!!
Lmao dumb ? !..... -
