The Facts: Dunn requested his release Sunday after the Falcons signed free-agent running back Michael Turner to a six-year, $34.5 million deal that reportedly includes $15 million in guarantees.

Diehards Line:Dunn, an 11-year veteran who led the Falcons in rushing each of the past four seasons, believes he can still be an effective performer and wants an opportunity to contribute on a winning club. A league source told SI.com's Jim Trotter that several teams would have interest in Dunn, notably Houston, Dallas and Denver. The Buccaneers have also expressed interest.
