SkinsTillIDie Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Makes our Mike Sellers 4 years, $4 million signing look absolutely brilliant http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2785966 Falcons reach six-year, $18M deal with Ravens FB By John Clayton ESPN.com The Falcons had a good fullback in Justin Griffith, but they decided to go bigger and more expensive. On Friday, the Falcons reached a six-year, $18 million deal with Ravens fullback Ovie Mughelli that included a $5 million signing bonus. The blockbuster deal is the biggest contract given to a pure fullback. Mughelli becomes the second Ravens to leave in the first day of free agency. Right tackle Tony Pathos signed a five-year, $24 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The reason for the Mughelli big deal is competition. The Dolphins were interesed in putting Mughelli with featured running back Ronnie Brown. Cam Cameron, the Dolphins new head coach, wanted to copy the one-two backfield put he had in San Diego with LaDainian Tomlinson and fullback Lorenzo Neal by matching Mughelli with Brown. As the free agency opened early Friday morning, Mughelli had offers of $2.75 million a year, which was roughly $800,000 over Neal, who negotiated the league's highest fullback extension on Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptr77 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 He is a good fullback and good on short yardage but WTF??? He runs the ball rarely and its usually just a straight dive for 4 yards if he does, he isn't huge in the pass game but is good. There is no way he is better than neal, sellers, strong, alstott, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
