ESPN’s Pat Yasinskas writes that the Atlanta Falcons could be looking to replace RB Michael Turner during the offseason. Turner, 30, has seen a dip in his overall production which is consistent with aging running backs. He’ll be entering the final year of his contract and has a $5.5 million base salary for next season, so it makes sense that the Falcons would consider parting ways in the coming months. Jacquizz Rodgers has displayed more elusiveness and fresh legs throughout the season and is hoping to see role in the team’s offense expand in the coming years. Sunday’s game against the Seahawks could be Turner’s final game as a Falcon. Source: NFL Trade Rumors
