When I saw the Falcons resigned Blalock, I was impressed they were able to walk away from free agency only losing one offensive lineman and also signing a much needed pass rushing left end in Ray Edwards. Then I saw how much they paid him. Did they overpay Blalock, a guard, by giving him 38 million over 6 years with 16 million guaranteed? I definitely think so, but they have no major free agents left so it’s not the worst thing in the world to overpay a bit when he’s a valued member of a strength from a 13-3 team and you can fit him under the cap.
