When the Falcons traded for Matthew Judon, sending the Patriots a third-round pick, many saw it as the final piece to the puzzle, but it couldn’t have gone any worse. A large part of the struggles on the defense was, once again, the pass rush. The Falcons had one of the league’s worst pass rushes,
Adam Schefter and Albert Breer, arguably the two most respected NFL insiders in the game, believe the Falcons will eventually cut Kirk Cousins before St. Patrick’s Day, which is when a $10 million roster bonus fully vests. The Falcons have a difficult decision to make before March 17. Atlanta can either foot the bill for
The Falcons’ season ended in disappointing fashion, leading to many questions about whether Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot would’ve been let go after just one year together, but it became clear quickly that Arthur Blank would be bringing both back.

Anderson could only get through 1.2 innings over the weekend, allowing one run. But it was his control that was concerning. Anderson walked three batters, including two in
Who other than the reigning Cy Young award winner would toe the rubber in the Braves’ Grapefruit League opener? Nobody, that’s the answer, and Chris Sale picked up right where he left off.

An old Falcons friend is retiring, Keanu Neal announced after eight seasons in the NFL. “All the lessons learned through the game has helped mold me into who I am today,” the 29-year-old wrote in a post to Instagram on Sunday.

For the first time in half a decade, the Falcons won’t be looking for a quarterback in the NFL Draft, with Michael Penix Jr. set to be the franchise quarterback.
