The Facts:
At 33, coming off a mentally and statistically rough season (227 carries, 720 yards, 4 TDs), Dunn's future with the Falcons is in question. Atlanta recently hired Mike Smith from Jacksonville as its new HC and Mike Mularkey as its OC, and change, possibly radical change, is coming.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Smith and Mularkey said they want to establish a powerful, physical running game, something the Falcons don't have the personnel for at the moment. As Journal Constitution staffer Steve Wyche suggests, that could change and change quickly, but some players would have to be cut to create salary-cap room for the Falcons to go shopping in free agency. The diminutive Dunn could be at the front of the line. His base salary for 2008 -- his final year of his contract -- is $4 million. At his age, he's not the type of player teams tend to build their futures around, either.
