The Falcons have gone quiet after a wild start to the week in which we saw the team ship out veteran quarterback Matt Ryan, bring in free agent Marcus Mariota and re-sign running back Cordarrelle Patterson.
In today’s recap, we check out some updated salary cap numbers, Draft Wire drops a new mock that has Atlanta trading up to No. 1 overall, and former Falcons QB Joey Harrington has some friendly advice for Mariota.
Harrington jokes about Bobby Petrino
Harrington and Mariota, both former top-three picks out of Oregon, bounced around a bit during their careers. Mariota joins Atlanta, where Harrington played his final season back in 2007. It wasn’t a memorable year for Harrington on the field — seven touchdowns and eight interceptions — but Falcons fans remember it for being the year head coach Bobby Petrino bolted midseason for a job at Arkansas. College coaches like Urban Meyer have continued to honor Petrino’s NFL legacy in recent years.
