Latest From the Falcons: Redman is Re-Signed

From Falcons PR:

The Atlanta Falcons today agreed to terms on a contract extension with quarterback Chris Redman. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

Redman, an eight-year NFL veteran, has spent the last three seasons with the Falcons as the backup quarterback. In 23 career games (12 starts), he has completed 264 of 466 passes for 2,971 yards and 21 touchdowns while compiling a 79.3 passer rating.

Redman joined the Falcons as a free agent in 2007 and competed in seven games while starting in four. He totaled 1,079 passing yards and 10 touchdowns while finishing the season with a 90.4 passer rating. Redman was inserted as the starting quarterback for the final five games of the ’07 campaign and won the season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. In that game, he threw for four touchdowns en route to being named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Having provided valuable guidance for quarterback Matt Ryan in the last two seasons, Redman also filled in under center in three contests last year. After replacing an injured Ryan against Tampa Bay in Week 12, Redman led the Falcons back from a four-point fourth quarter deficit and completed the game-winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Roddy White with 23 seconds left in the game. Redman finished the ’09 campaign having completed 69 of 119 passes for 781 yards and four touchdowns.

So what are your thoughts on this? Should the Falcons have re-signed Redman? DISCUSS!!!
