After a wait, Neuzil gets a new deal.

The Atlanta Falcons finally inked a contract with their presumed 2025 starting center, Ryan Neuzil. The two parties have agreed to a two-year $9.5M deal with $6.5M guaranteed.

Neuzil filled in for nine games after new Chicago Bears center Drew Dalman went down with an ankle injury. PFF ranked Neuzil as the 36th-best center last year, and Dalman was 22nd. While the two centers provided a similar level of pass protection, Neuzil didn’t offer the same push as Dalman in the run, and he also had seven penalties.

Nevertheless, Neuzil did enough...

Kevin Knight and Adnan Ikic are joined by Aaron Freeman (Locked On Falcons) to review Atlanta’s free agency and NFL Draft moves to determine if this roster can compete for the playoffs and beyond during the 2025 season.

With the NFL schedule released, it’s time for our game-by-game predictions for the Atlanta Falcons 2025 season! Adnan Ikic and I are joined by Eric Robinson to take you through the entire schedule, including win/loss predictions for each week and our take on how Atlanta will fare throughout the year. Is this the year the Falcons finally return to the postseason? Fellow...

Adding a veteran in Jordan Fuller and a gifted rookie in Xavier Watts makes the safety group look good as hell.

The Atlanta Falcons had an uncertain safety group heading into this offseason, with Justin Simmons hitting free agency, DeMarcco Hellams still a question mark coming off a major injury, and not much else to speak of. With a pair of moves, the Falcons turned a position that was shaky outside of Jessie Bates into a position that looks among the roster’s strongest.

They did so by spending a third round pick on a talented, ballhawking rookie safety and signing...

The veteran quarterback may be sending a message with his absence from OTAs.

On Tuesday, OTAs for 20 more NFL teams began, signaling the start of the Third Phase of the NFL offseason program. The final five teams will begin their OTAs tomorrow, joining the teams who hired a new head coach this offseason whom began their sessions last week.

The Falcons wasted no time finding their way into the headlines Tuesday morning as the head coach Raheem Morris told reporters that veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is not in attendance for the start of OTAs. This is yet another step...

The second year pro could carve out a role in Atlanta’s outside linebacker group if he’s healthy for the 2025 season.

I wrote about Bralen Trice, forgotten man a few weeks back. My argument was that if he was healthy, Trice’s well-rounded game could be a boon for an outside linebacker group set to debut many new pieces.

The justified response from some Atlanta Falcons fans was “well, do we know he’s healthy?” The answer to that still isn’t a clear cut yes or no, but we did get [a welcome update on the second-year pass rusher from Raheem Morris...

Things are ramping up for the Falcons, especially young players like Michael Penix Jr.

We’re officially one month removed from the draft, and while the NFL is firmly in its “dead period,” real sickos like you know the Atlanta Falcons OTAs start this week!

Here’s the schedule: May 27th-28th, May 30th, June 2nd-3rd, and June 5th.

“Organized Team Activities” (OTAs) sounds far more exciting than what it is. These voluntary practices won’t contain major installs or even contact amongst players, but it’s an ideal environment for the 2025 team to gel and build rapport.

No player is looking to do...

If the always mercurial Aaron Rodgers ends up retiring or waiting too long, the Falcons and Steelers might strike a deal.

You’ve been hearing Aaron Rodgers to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a long time now, which is the nature of the beast when you’re dealing with one of the NFL’s great franchises and its most attention-seeking quarterback. Whether Rodgers is simply biding his time so he can avoid pre-training camp work to save his body for a grueling season or he and the team are simply taking a long time to hash something out, he is not yet a Steeler....

Is the roster in good shape except for some tinkering, or should the Falcons explore a big trade to finish things out?

The Atlanta Falcons are a handful of months away from starting the 2025 season, and the team’s roster is certainly not close to being in its final form. Besides the very obvious cuts to come to get the team from 90 players to 53, Terry Fontenot’s urge to tinker means we should expect at least a dozen smaller moves between now and September.

But is that all we can expect, and is it all we should expect? The...

Popularized by the Eagles in 2022, the tush push has garnered severe league attention, both positive and negative, and now we finally have an answer on if the play will remain legal.

Eagles fans rejoice, the “Tush Push” lives to see another day... for now. The play has been the topic of conversation around the league and online ever since the Eagles not only popularized it, but showed a high rate of success running the play in short yardage situations. Originally proposed by the Green Bay Packers, a potential ban on the play was deliberated on for several months among...

Kevin Knight and Adnan Ikic are joined by Aaron Freeman (Locked On Falcons) to review Atlanta’s free agency and NFL Draft moves to determine if this roster can compete for the playoffs and beyond during the 2025 season.

With rookie minicamp behind us, we finally got our first on-field look at the 2025 Atlanta Falcons. Adnan Ikic and I are joined by Aaron Freeman (Locked On Falcons) to review Atlanta’s free agency and NFL Draft moves to determine if this roster can compete for the playoffs and beyond during the 2025 season. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of The...

Which NFC South team is favored to win this one?

Welcome to the offseason, where the Atlanta Falcons could win as few as five games and as many as 12 in the upcoming 2025 season. The good people over at FanDuel Sportsbook can’t seem to pin these Falcons down either. The opening odds for the Falcons post-schedule release are at -140 for over 7.5 wins and +120 for under 7.5. It can’t get much closer without it becoming a wash.

This feels like the perfect line for this Atlanta team, because who knows where this team will be in mid-October?...

There’s one major competition and an otherwise mostly settled picture for Falcons special teams.

With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s a fine time to revisit the Atlanta Falcons roster. While there are inevitable changes between now and roster cuts, chiefly in terms of churn on the bottom of the roster, the broad contours are known.

That’s especially true on special teams, where the specialists are either well-established or have known competition that will be unlikely to change unless injury crops up. Long snapper and punter appear to be set in stone, the returner spots are fairly settled so long...
