Falcons sign kicker Lenny Krieg

Falcons sign kicker Lenny Krieg

The German-born kicker was quickly snapped up and will spend the summer competing with Younghoe Koo.

It was logical for the Atlanta Falcons to prioritize adding some competition for Younghoe Koo, who had the worst year of his career in 2024 and went on injured reserve late in the campaign. Now we know who the team views as worthy of competing and/or sticking around on the practice squad as a developmental option.

NFL insider Mike Garafolo reports that the team has signed German-born kicker Lenny Krieg. In 2024, he was the top kicker in the European Football League, scoring 99...

Falcons should extend Drake London sooner rather than later, according to PFF

Falcons should extend Drake London sooner rather than later, according to PFF

Getting a deal done—or at least picking up the fifth-year option—just makes too much sense for London.

This offseason, the Cincinnati Bengals have been the talk of the wide receiver market as they guaranteed over $100 million to their two building blocks on the outside, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. However, the Atlanta Falcons have a chance to plant their stake in the receiver market by potentially picking up 2022 first-round pick Drake London’s fifth-year option before the May 1st deadline, or simply paying him on a new deal.

PFF’s Bradley Locker, in his [fifth-year option predictions for the 2022...

Falcons restructured Chris Lindstrom, AJ  Terrell deals for cap relief

Falcons restructured Chris Lindstrom, AJ Terrell deals for cap relief

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...

Free agency roundtable: Falcons take a backseat in 2025

Free agency roundtable: Falcons take a backseat in 2025

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...

Kirk Cousins trade doesn’t sound likely for Falcons until the 2025 NFL Draft

Kirk Cousins trade doesn’t sound likely for Falcons until the 2025 NFL Draft

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...

Falcons 2025 draft interest tracker

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...

Falcons forgoing long-standing need would be worst-case draft scenario, according to PFF

Falcons forgoing long-standing need would be worst-case draft scenario, according to PFF

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...

Falcons 2025 mock draft: Filling needs after free agency and a trade

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,...

Falcons to sign returner Jamal Agnew

Falcons to sign returner Jamal Agnew

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...

Center prospects the Falcons could target in the 2025 NFL Draft

Center prospects the Falcons could target in the 2025 NFL Draft

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...
