The Falcoholic Photo by Justin Casterline/ Atlanta’s set for the short-term, but the importance of having a succession plan is difficult to overstate. The Atlanta Falcons have accounted for the present. For the first time since shipping Matt Ryan out of town—and arguably before then, depending on how much you think Ryan had declined before he left—the Falcons have a solidly above-average player at quarterback. The next two-to-three years are set, barring catastrophe, and Kirk Cousins will be under center and hoping to lead a resurgent Falcons offense to greater glory. The...
15 hours ago - Mar 17, 2024 How will the Falcons improve the defense?
The Falcoholic Photo by Kara Durrette/ The team can’t stand pat after a resurgent 2023, so what’s next? The Atlanta Falcons have their special teams group pretty well locked in, at least as far as specialists go, and probably have their offense 85-90% locked in. For a team with a new coaching staff and plenty of question marks this offseason, getting all of that sewn up in the first week of free agency is pretty impressive, and it puts the Falcons in a good position for the season ahead. But because the work is not totally done on offense—they could use improved depth, at the...

When Kirk Cousins began his career, he did so as the backup to Robert Griffin III in Washington. While Raheem Morris was no longer in Washington when Cousins seized the full-time starting job and broke out in 2015, those three years gave Morris a chance to see a young, promising quarterback begin to find his way in the league in relief of Griffin, whose career was ultimately derailed by injury. The next stop for Morris was Atlanta, where he spent...

The team isn’t married to defensive back Dax Hill at free safety, and he could easily end up as a future slot corner. If the Bengals do decide to get a veteran safety in free agency, it is a buyer's market that just got another big name. The Buffalo Bills released safety Jordan Poyer in a flurry of moves to get under the cap. Poyer has spent the last seven years in Buffalo prior to four years with both the...

The former Oklahoma star was drafted by Baltimore and spent the past two seasons with Arizona, but Kansas City expressed interest in him all the way back to the 2019 draft.

Brown is hoping to turn the one-year, prove-it deal into a more lucrative multi-year deal next offseason. He has struggled with injuries that limited him to 26 games over the past two seasons.
