Apologies: Morgan DID NOT Sign With Falcons Yet

Apologies: Morgan DID NOT Sign With Falcons Yet by Sam Kweon

Even after re-signing RB Antone Smith, it seems that the Atlanta Falcons still want a player that can be the definite starter.

According to the BaltimoreSun.com yesterday, the Falcons are one of the teams that are in pursuit of RB Justin Forsett.

“Running back Justin Forsett is drawing interest from several NFL teams with the free agency signing period set to begin Tuesday afternoon. The free agent has maintained a strong desire to rejoin the Ravens and the feeling is mutual. However, sources said Forsett is also drawing interest from the Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts. Forsett is expected to explore his options.”

Forsett is coming off of a breakout season where he rushed for over 1,200 yards and eight touchdowns, and even earned himself a trip to the Pro Bowl.

He told the BaltimoreSun that he would like to stay in Baltimore, but is still considering all of his options because it’s just “business.”

“I would love to stay here. I want to be here in Baltimore. They gave me my shot, gave me my opportunity. But then again, there’s that business side we have to work out. I’m praying that everything works out.”

If the Atlanta Falcons were to land Forsett, it would be a great pick-up and would ensure a three-headed beast coming into 2015 with Forsett, Smith, and Devonta Freeman.
