Is 2.7 million for one year vs 1.1 million that big of a deal for some teams? Especially if he knows the system.
The Falcons have about half the current cap space that we have. Maybe they needed the additional $1.5 million for someone else.
I think the Falcons thought they could sneak his release through the waiver process and bring him back at a lower salary. And I think that Poles is willing to exhaust every possible avenue to improve our roster. So he saw a young man coming available ad thought the $2.7 million was a relative bargain for Walker's skills and claimed him on the waiver wire.
