Latest news and updates about the Falcons
Drake London was very good for the Atlanta Falcons in 2025, aside from missing five games. Everything else about the Falcons receiver depth chart was a disaster. Darnell Mooney got hurt, returned, and was a shell of himself all season. Ray-Ray McCloud produced very little and was clearly angered by the team firing wide receivers […]

Tight end has consistently been a position the Falcons prioritize being a strength of the roster. Other than 2014 and 2015, when Levine Toilolo and Jacob Tamme were starters, they have made the necessary investments to ensure the starting tight end is a difference maker. Kyle Pitts has received many labels in his career. No […]

Oh, how the turntables… turn. In the NFL, everything tends to be about relationships, good or bad, in decision-making. That is especially true with coaching staffs, as new head coaches like to bring in coaches they are familiar with. We have seen that with new Cleveland Browns HC Todd Monken on the offensive side of […]

In a year where just about everything went comically wrong for the Falcons, taking them from would-be playoff team to out of the mix in November, the running back position was a bastion of excellence. It’s a virtual certainty it was our final year with Tyler Allgeier in the mix, though blessedly Bijan Robinson will […]

Surprise, surprise. As I wrote back on January 6, Atlanta’s contract adjustment for Kirk Cousins indicated that they were going to cut him, given that they would have a truly unpalatable cap hit next year if they did not. Now Adam Schefter is reporting that the Falcons are planning to do so before the start […]

One of the first decisions the Tennessee Titans are going to have to make about their current roster is whether or not to cut Calvin Ridley. He has a cap number of just over $26 million for 2026. It is currently the biggest number on their roster. Cutting him would save them around $13 million. […]

The story of the Atlanta Falcons in the post-Matt Ryan era—and now I have to specify that it is the post-Matt Ryan on-field era—is a failure at quarterback. There are many other stories that intertwine with that one, naturally, from a lackluster defense to special teams woes to poor coaching and poor roster building. But […]

One year after entering the playoffs as the best division in football, the NFC North simultaneously took a step back and also wrote its place in history during the 2025 season.

On Monday, we discussed a free-agent pass rusher from the Atlanta Falcons who could follow Raheem Morris to the San Francisco 49ers.

New general manager Ian Cunningham is stepping into a less-than-ideal situation in Atlanta. On one hand, he has some terrific pieces on both sides of the ball, a reasonable amount of cap space, and a fanbase that knows that 2026 is not a year where we’re going to place outsized expectations after eight straight losing […]
