ATLANTA -- Falcons owner Arthur Blank took the same approach with Dunta Robinson that he used two years ago on Michael Turner.

Welcome to Atlanta, your first and final stop as an unrestricted agent.

"I was brought in on Mr. Blank's private jet," Robinson said Monday, "and I was sold from that point on."

Robinson, considered by many as the most sought-after cornerback in free agency, left the Houston Texans to sign a six-year, $57 million contract with Atlanta.

Approximately $22.5 million is guaranteed, though Robinson suggested the Falcons offered more than a big payday.
