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?”...

The Falcons had a quiet start to free agency, saying goodbye to two starters while adding a few veterans in the process. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz discuss the moves and attempt to answer the critical question: did Atlanta actually improve in free agency?

This should be interesting.

You’ve probably been waiting for news about Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins and we have some for you today, although it’s likely not the news you were hoping for (yet).

It’s been announced that Kirk Cousins, along with Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, will appear in season 2 of Netflix’s popular series, “Quarterback.”

If you’re unfamiliar with the series, it essentially gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at three NFL quarterbacks on and off the field. Season 1, which debuted in 2023 and covered the 2022 NFL season followed around [Kansas...

Atlanta adds a starter opposite Jessie Bates, one familiar to Raheem Morris.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed free agent safety Jordan Fuller, a former Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams starter who played for Raheem Morris from 2021-2023, and he should be expected to start for the team in 2025. That’s a major signing for a team that had a perilously thin safety group coming into today.

The news comes to us from insider Tom Pelissero. We’ll see what the terms are soon enough.

Fuller did not make my list of defensive free agents this morning, to my now eternal...

From role players up front to potential starters in the secondary, the Falcons have options to improve a lackluster roster.

The reaction to the offensive edition of this article yesterday made it clear to me that defense is where many Atlanta Falcons fans want to see all remaining dollars and draft picks spent, and it’s difficult to quibble with that. As promised, let’s talk defense.

While the pickings are a little slim already after most of the big names were snapped up early, the Falcons still can get legitimate starters and helpful role players with any money they free up....

The Falcons are closer to having an assembled offense, but there are intriguing free agents and needs to still take a swing at.

As we’ve said repeatedly this spring, the Atlanta Falcons need to focus most of their efforts on their mediocre defense. To this point, that’s largely what they’ve done, with their three biggest signings (Leonard Floyd, Divine Deablo, and Mike Hughes) all coming on that side of the ball. That should continue, and we will be looking at appealing free agents still out there for whenever the Falcons find a way to carve out some more 2025 cap...

Atlanta extended their playoff drought to seven after missing the postseason in 2024. With a growing dissatisfaction among fans, the need to win now is more imperative than ever. If the team doesn’t, how hot is head coach Raheem Morris’ seat?

An eight season playoff drought. That’s what the Atlanta Falcons are staring at if they don’t turn the 2025-2026 season into a successful one. And while the end of next season is still a little under a year away, I get the sense that some front office and coaching staff figures could be heading out the door should the...

Atlanta brings back a familiar face to provide more depth along their defensive front.

The Atlanta Falcons could still use a standout defender up front, especially if the trio of Ruke Orhorhoro, Brandon Dorlus, and Zach Harrison don’t take major steps forward in 2025. Their depth, though? That’s starting to take shape.

The team has veterans David Onyemata and the freshly signed Morgan Fox in their rotation and recently re-signed Ta’Quon Graham, who alongside LaCale London at least gives the Falcons some proven, solid reserves to soak up playing time. Now they’ve re-added Kentavius Street, giving them another veteran presence...
