NFL updates uniform policy, Falcons can wear throwbacks more often

NFL updates uniform policy, Falcons can wear throwbacks more often

This is phenomenal news.

I know some people don’t care about the atheistic side of football, but for those of you who care about NFL uniforms, this is some news for you.

On Monday at the annual league meetings being held in South Florida, the NFL informed team owners that teams can now wear their throwback and alternate uniforms up to four games in the 17-game regular season. This is an extra game, as the previous rule only allowed throwbacks and alternates to be worn in three games.

This is fantastic news if you are fans of the Atlanta Falcons...

Raheem Morris talks Kirk Cousins, tush push, and more at NFL owners meeting

Raheem Morris talks Kirk Cousins, tush push, and more at NFL owners meeting

Interesting updates abound from Morris.

Raheem Morris got to the owners meetings a little late due to what ESPN’s Marc Raimondi called weather-related travel issues, but he was there to speak to the media on Tuesday. In his remarks, the Atlanta Falcons head coach touched on Kirk Cousins’ future with the team, the fate of the tush push, and Ryan Neuzil’s status as the team’s potential starting center, among other topics.

Here’s a quick rundown of what Morris had to say.

On Kirk Cousins

We’re all wondering when the Kirk Cousins saga will be over. He was recently spotted...

Which way the arrow is pointing for Falcons defensive starters

Which way the arrow is pointing for Falcons defensive starters

How do things look for the current starting lineup, beyond just grim?

Last week, I took a post-free agency shot at determining which way the arrow was pointing for Atlanta’s likely offensive starters, and it was largely a positive exercise with a clear lineup. Now we turn our attention to the defense, where the free agent signings may not be over with, the future is cloudier ahead of the draft, and the vibes are a bit less positive.

Still, let’s work our way through the potential starting lineup today to determine who looks good coming out of the first couple...

The Atlanta Falcons trade out of Round 1 in latest NFL mock draft

The Atlanta Falcons trade out of Round 1 in latest NFL mock draft

Seeking more selections, Atlanta swaps down in this hypothetical.

In Eric Edholm’s mock draft 2.0, he has the Atlanta Falcons trading with a team they’ve been linked to all offseason, but it’s not the exchange many had in mind.

He has the Falcons trading out of Round 1 with the Cleveland Browns, with Kirk Cousins nowhere in sight.

Edholm’s proposal:

Browns acquire

  • Pick 15 (used on Shedeur Sanders)

Falcons acquire

  • Pick 33 (used on Walter Nolen)
  • Pick 67
  • Pick 104

Cousins to Cleveland has been the trade on most fans’ minds, but this...

Falcons 2025 free agency primer and signing tracker

Keeping tabs on all things Atlanta Falcons free agency as they happen.

Free agency is here. The Atlanta Falcons lack the big spending money they’ve had the past couple of seasons, which may take a bit of shine off the proceedings, but there’s intrigue aplenty to be found in the coming weeks. The team has made a flurry of signings in the first week, as well.

Will the team trade Kirk Cousins? How will they free up enough space to be active in a pivotal offseason? Will the Falcons manage to make a splash or two in spite of their...

Falcons signing tight end Teagan Quitoriano

Falcons signing tight end Teagan Quitoriano

Atlanta continues to stock tight end depth for a summer of competition ahead.

It’s not quite the earth-shattering news of Feleipe Franks’ return, but the Atlanta Falcons have signed another tight end to the roster. It is, once again, a player who will be expected to compete for third tight end duties in 2025 behind Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner.

This time it’s former Texas tight end Teagan Quitoriano, per NFL reporter Aaron Wilson.

Quitoriano, who just turned 25 earlier this month, is the biggest tight end on the roster at the moment, standing 6’6” like Kyle Pitts and Feleipe...

There’s no sugarcoating it: the Falcons have had an uninspiring start to NFL free agency. Kevin Knight discusses why he feels that Atlanta hasn’t done enough thus far to create excitement or hope for the fanbase.

Which way the arrow is pointing for Falcons offensive starters after free agency

Who comes out of free agency primed for big things, and who might have questions about their role?

The dust is settling around free agency, with the Atlanta Falcons both unlikely to be done with signings and unlikely to make any major splashes before the 2025 NFL Draft.

That makes this a fine time to look at the roster and see who is in basically the same spot they were before free agency, who figures to have an expanded role or at least a very safe one, and who might see their role shrink or step into a pressure cooker...

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...
