Atlanta Falcons News, Draft, Analysis and More
The Atlanta Falcons continued their busy start to the week signing veteran offensive lineman Josh Andrews to a 1-year contract. His agent, Brett Tessler, tweeted the news Monday afternoon. Andrews went undrafted in 2014, but he has spent seven seasons in the NFL and earned a Super Bowl ring four years ago. He has also […]
Signing veteran running back Mike Davis is one of the best free agent acquisitions the Atlanta Falcons have made this offseason. Davis is a versatile power back, capable of helping the Falcons’ inept ground game and the passing attack. His dual-threat ability and power give the Falcons something they simply did not have last year. […]
Drew Brees not returning to the sidelines for the 2021 NFL season will bring smiles to a lot of Atlanta Falcons fans. The Falcons team Twitter account shared the same feeling but also a respect for the future Hall of Fame quarterback on Sunday. Following Brees’ official retirement announcement, the Falcons team Twitter account posted […]
He’s not what Jimmy Graham once was, but the Atlanta Falcons are bringing back their own J. Graham at tight end — Jaeden Graham. The Falcons announced Friday afternoon they have re-signed Graham. According to Spotrac, the contract is a 1-year deal worth $850,000. Graham showed flashes as a pass catcher in the 2019 preseason, […]
Falcons fans holding out hope for a salary cap miracle didn’t receive one when the league released its salary cap for the 2021 season on Wednesday. The NFL announced the cap will be $182.5 million, which is almost $16 million less than the cap for 2020. With this announcement, the Falcons are about $14.4 million […]
Ben Roethlisberger agreed to a new 1-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, saving Pittsburgh about $15 million in cap space for the 2021 season. With the new deal, Big Ben’s cap hit went from the most expensive in the league to a “modest” $25.9 million. Roethlisberger now holds the 11th-biggest cap hit in […]
There’s a reason why writers have given the offseason another more fitting title — silly season. It’s the time of year where rumors and hypotheticals run rampant across the entire league, especially for the teams near the top of the draft board. Even holding their highest first-round position heading into the draft since 2008, the […]
With new leadership, Atlanta Falcons fans realized changes would be coming to the organization this offseason. Even with the new NFL year still a few weeks away, those alterations have begun. Last week, the Falcons announced the release of safety Ricardo Allen and defensive end Allen Bailey. These moves save the Falcons $10.75 million in […]
A changing of the guard of sorts appears to be coming to the NFC South. In fact, it’s already here. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers upset the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LV. Granted the victory came with a 43-year-old quarterback, and their head coach is no spring chicken either. At 68, Bruce Arians […]

The OC often calls plays, and after all, it’s awfully hard to win in modern football without scoring points. But for the first time in nearly half a decade, the Atlanta Falcons will have an offensive-minded head coach […]
