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...

The Falcons opened free agency with a flurry of moves, bringing back some key players while adding a few veterans to bolster the defensive front. Kevin Knight gives his initial thoughts on Atlanta’s start to free agency.

The Atlanta Falcons opened free agency with a flurry of small-to-medium moves, bringing back some key players while adding a few veterans to bolster the defensive front. Kevin Knight gives his initial thoughts on Atlanta’s start to free agency and how these moves impact the team’s plans over the remainder of the offseason. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of the [Dirty Birds...

The Falcons have a long shopping list on defense even after their additions.

The Atlanta Falcons aren’t done in free agency, and the NFL Draft is still ahead. The fact that there’s a lull after the initial flurry of signings still makes this a fine time to check in on the roster.

Where are the Falcons today? In brief, the offense is in pretty good shape with one major question mark, while the defense is mostly just question marks. Depending on how much you like a Younghoe Koo bounceback and trust this team to find a capable punt returner, special...

What is the direction of this team? And is it already too late to not have a definitive answer?

As the dust settles and the first week of free agency comes to a close, the 2025 NFL landscape begins to become a bit clearer. Now, there are a few key dominoes that still need to fall into place: Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers still need to figure out where they’re playing football, and the Cincinnati Bengals have to reach a verdict on what to do about Trey Hendrickson.

For the most part, though, the big moves are all done and...

With the roster bonus for next year locked in, the Falcons have no incentive to do anything but hold or trade the veteran quarterback.

It’s official: The Atlanta Falcons have paid out a $10 million bonus for Kirk Cousins in 2026, killing the last swirls of the narrative that the team would be forced to cut him. While it has been reported that Kirk Cousins met with Arthur Blank about his future and wants to start somewhere, he’s going to need to wait until a trade materializes for that to happen.

NFL insider Mike Garafolo makes it clear the Falcons,...

Working around the cap isn’t fun, but Atlanta got a few deals done in the first week of free agency.

Disclaimer: Due to the nature of Atlanta’s cap situation, I did not grade these moves based on the “splashy” nature, but purely off their potential effectiveness and how they affect the team in the near future.

Free agency is a time of hope in a time where most NFL fans are yearning for it. The new league year starts and the page is officially turned toward the 2025 season. For the Atlanta Falcons, there were questions about what this free...

Atlanta adds to their rotation up front with Fox, who should help the pass rush.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed defensive lineman Morgan Fox to a 2-year, $8.5M contract.

The news comes via insider Peter Schrager.

Fox has 15.5 sacks in the last three seasons, 5.5 more than former Falcon Grady Jarrett in the same timeframe. Fox is a solid addition to a team that needs pass rush help as badly as Atlanta, and he fits the 3-4 scheme Atlanta ran last year.

Fox will pick up snaps from Grady Jarrett’s departure, likely playing in the 3T-5T alignments where he...

Atlanta adds another reserve to their cornerback group.

The Atlanta Falcons need to stock depth and they need help in their secondary, where poor tackling and blown assignments marred the 2024 season. They’ve added the former with cornerback Keith Taylor, and we’ll have to see if he can provide the latter.

The team announced the signing on Friday, bringing the 26-year-old into the fold at a position where the Falcons recently re-signed Mike Hughes and added Mike Ford. While Ford is primarily a special teamer who will only play cornerback in case of emergency, Taylor is a capable enough special...
