Not a huge threat, but another weapon in their arsenal for this weekend.

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports free agent WR Jerome Pathon (Seahawks) has agreed to contract terms with the Atlanta Falcons, and will sign a one-year deal Wednesday, Sept. 28. Pathon flew to Atlanta Tuesday evening, Sept. 27 and is expected to be on the practice field Wednesday, Sept. 28, as the Falcons begin preparations for their Week 4 home game with the Minnesota Vikings. Atlanta will have to make a roster move to create an opening for Pathon, once he officially signs.

big whoop. he is like us signing k.rob. it will take time before he gets to play and probley wont play this week. and even if he does, he wont do anything.

He won't make a impact. Vick barely throws to his own WR's. He sticks to the TE's.

Great observation, Marshall! Welcome to the board!!!

Pathon will no doubt be out of game shape anyway!

Atlanta STILL doesn't have a legitimate #1 WR...but then neither do we! The difference is that while Daunte can work within that framework, Vick cannot...he isn't really capable of spreading the ball out amongst the receiving corps...he tends to focus on one or two players, mainly the TEs.
