FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Former Atlanta Falcons running back
Warrick Dunn is buying a piece of the team.
The Falcons announced Thursday that Dunn, who retired after the
2008 season, had an agreement to become a minority owner. The
purchase was unanimously approved by NFL owners on Wednesday and is
expected to be completed by March 1.
Dunn spent 12 years in the NFL with Atlanta and Tampa Bay. He
started his career with the Buccaneers, played with the Falcons for
six seasons, then returned to Tampa Bay for his final year. He was
only the seventh player to reach 10,000 yards rushing and 4,000
yards receiving.
