Blalock may be only Falcons free agent offensive lineman to stay


Falcons would only be able to keep two of their three starting free agent offensive linemen at best.  It appears they are ready for two of three to leave.
Jason La Canfora writes via sources that the Falcons “figure” guard Harvey Dahl and tackle Tyson Clabo will get big deals elsewhere, and are “prepared for contingencies” for both leaving.
Translation: They don’t expect to keep them.
Left guard Justin Blalock wasn’t mentioned and will presumably be retained if at all possible.  The Falcons have drafted heavily on the offensive line the last two years to prepare for this day, and apparently trust their system and young players enough to let Clabo and Dahl walk.
