Marty Booker-WR-Falcons Aug. 6 - 8:24 pm et

Booker, 33, was released by the Bears in February after recording just 15 catches last season. The Falcons are bringing in veterans for depth with Brian Finneran, Aaron Kelly and Troy Bergeron behind Michael Jenkins and holdout Roddy White. Booker is no lock to make the team, much less emerge as a fantasy factor.

Matt Jones seemed the ideal fit ?

I'm not sure bringing a guy with a cocaine problem to Atlanta is the best idea.

Mike Smith's old boss and mentor just 86'd Jones from a team with WR issues. I'm sure Smith saw for himself what a soft, lazy bum Jones is during practices.

I'll take Matt Jones over Marty Booker 10 days a week.

Agreed. It's kind of sad, actually.Not a chance Jones was coming to Atlanta. Smith is quite familiar with him and did everyone just miss the headache that was Michael Vick? Why would they jettison Vick and then bring in a new headache like Jones?

Just listening to Falcons GM Dimitroff on the radio.

Booker was a part of Mike Mularky's (Falcons OC) offense in Miami and is familiar with the system. They were looking for someone they could throw right in and pick up where Douglas left off. He indicated Booker has done just that and of course made no mention of Matt Jones what so ever.

I know Ferguson isn't a show-stopper, but he is a VERY good down field blocker as a WR. He won't help Ryan, but he could help Turner (provided he even makes the team).
