Of course, Atlanta Falcons fans took to Twitter to voice their disproval with this revelation. However, if you have been paying attention, this should not come as a shock to you. This was the main reason that many questioned the $5 million one year deal that the Falcons signed him to.
Sure, you aren’t paying him a top dollar but given his health status, it is a lot of money.
The biggest reason that his health issues have mainly gone unchecked around Atlanta is that he played at UGA. Both the Atlanta Falcons and UGA share a large majority of their fan bases and those fans were simply happy to have a big name UGA product coming home.
