Seeking more cap space, the Falcons make a couple of relatively easy moves.

The Atlanta Falcons need to do more shopping. You know and I know that the defense is several moves shy of being good enough to lift this team in 2025, and they have only one legitimate option for starting center at the moment, and he isn’t even technically under contract if another team wants to offer something crazy.

That’s why it’s no great surprise to see the team freeing up more cap space. Per Spotrac, the Falcons have used simple restructures on both Chris Lindstrom and AJ...

Following the departure of a franchise all-time great and several under-the-radar signings, Atlanta is in a period of rationalization after a chaotic last year.

After two eventful offseasons, the Atlanta Falcons were bound to have a more subdued year off the field. With limited cap room and key decisions needing to be made, they had to take a step back in free agency. It has left us entering the roundtable with questions about some signings and how the front office manages two notable situations in the trenches.

Tre’Shon Diaz and Kevin Knight join me for the latest discussion. Despite the...

It’s completely unreasonable to expect Cousins to be on this roster by the time training camp rolls around ... but no trade is imminent according to recent reports.

Kirk Cousins would be an extremely expensive backup for the Atlanta Falcons, which is why it makes zero sense for the team to keep him on the roster. But thanks to a no-trade clause in Cousins’ four-year, $180 million contract, it’s not really up to them.

And Cousins is apparently not in any hurry to make this easier for Atlanta.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, Cousins isn’t interested in waiving that...

Who the Falcons are showing interest in, for what it’s worth.

The NFL Scouting Combine kicks off this week, so it’s a fine time to gear up our annual Atlanta Falcons NFL Draft interest tracker.

It’s an exciting time of year even when, as is the case in 2025, the Falcons have relatively limited draft capital to work with. We’ll temper your excitement ever so slightly by noting that interest does not always or even often translate into a player being drafted by Atlanta, even when they have multiple opportunities to snag a player they seemingly have significant pre-draft interest...

You’ll never guess what the long-standing need is.

Since becoming GM of the Atlanta Falcons in 2021, Terry Fontenot approached free agency and the draft the same in his first two off-seasons: Fill needs in free agency with lower-cost options and allow the team the room to draft the best available player when the draft rolls around.

Last offseason, with newfound cap space, they splurged a bit to potentially push their young roster across the finish line to reach the playoffs. Instead, the Kirk Cousins experiment went belly-up and the bets on acquisitions Justin Simmons and Matthew Judon didn’t end...

The first wave of free agency is over, and Kevin Knight is here to bring you an updated 7-round mock draft (with a trade!) for the Falcons. Would Atlanta consider a trade down from 15, and who might be left on the board for them in the 20s?

The first week of NFL free agency is behind us. Did the Atlanta Falcons actually improve in the process? That’s a bit of an open question. Atlanta did add a number of veterans to the roster that solidified a few positions, while losing their fair share of contributors in the process—most notably,...

The team’s Avery Williams replacement has arrived.

The Atlanta Falcons keep plugging away at plugging holes in their roster, this time signing former All-Pro returner Jamal Agnew to a one-year pact. The news comes to us from insider Mike Garafolo, who reports it could be worth up to $2.5 million if Agnew hits incentives we’ll likely learn about later.

Agnew will slot right in to replace Avery Williams, who the team let test free agency and who wound up with the Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s a smart signing with some risk. Agnew misses a handful of games every season—he has never...

The team needs to replace Drew Dalman. If they’re looking to the draft, these prospects could do the trick.

A position that was unstable not too long ago has once again become a need for the Atlanta Falcons with the departure of Drew Dalman.

Ryan Neuzil filled in valiantly in 2024, but he wasn’t good enough at his job to be considered irreplaceable. The team giving him the lowest tender possible is proof of that. If Atlanta has the opportunity to upgrade on him, they should.

Cutting corners on the offensive line is never a good strategy, and the Falcons...

No, really.

Feleipe Franks was something of a meme in the Atlanta Falcons fanbase last time he was here. The rangy, athletic quarterback-turned-tight end was a seeming Arthur Smith favorite, but despite a lot of glowing words and development, he rarely saw the field for Atlanta. Last year, the team moved on with the departure of Smith and Franks spent the season in Carolina, where he was a special teams contributor with 10 tackles despite battling penalties along the way. He had gone, over the course of a few rocky seasons, from a “why is he still on the roster?”...
