Atlanta Falcons have a history of luring division rivals

Atlanta Falcons fans are probably thinking why would Greg Olsen even want to come to a division rival? For starters, this wouldn’t be the first time Falcons would have poached a solid player from a rival team.

In 2002, the Falcons signed Warrick Dunn, who at the time played for another division rival, the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Falcons also signed famed kicker Morten Anderson who at the time previously played for the Saints.

Playing for the Falcons would also take a load off of the 34-year-old tight end. He wouldn’t have to “carry the load” on offense.
