The Atlanta Braves were expected to be active this offseason, and GM Alex Anthopoulos wasted no time in getting started, trading Jorge Soler—and the $32 million left on his contract—to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for starting pitcher Griffin Canning. It’s the first of many moves to come, as the Braves enter a pivotal
The Falcons are expected to be in the market for an edge rusher at the trade deadline, but what about the specifics? Does Terry Fontenot prefer a veteran on an expiring deal? Or perhaps an underwhelming youngster who just needs a change of scenery? Falcons fans would likely prefer a proven commodity under multiple years
With the NFL trade deadline approaching rapidly, names are flying around the Atlanta Falcons. Za’Darius Smith is a popular target among fans. The veteran is under contract for the 2025 season and would immediately become the defense’s best pass rusher. Harold Landry is another, but he is less of a one-on-one pass rusher. The Titans
The Falcons have one more game before the NFL Trade Deadline, but nothing should happen on Sunday against the Cowboys to convince Terry Fontenot that he can stand pat this year. Will it be a marquee name the Falcons target? Probably not, because they just won’t be available. Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby aren’t on
The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching, and the Falcons are expected to be actively pursuing a pass rusher. With just six sacks on the season, it’s clear that Atlanta’s pass rush is underperforming. The current in-house options haven’t delivered. Maybe Matthew Judon improves as the season progresses, maybe Arnold Ebiketie takes a leap, or
More than a handful of Falcons are dealing with injuries, but we did get some good news on a few players, among a flurry of roster moves. Raheem Morris updated the Atlanta media yesterday, telling them Justin Simmons “should be back to his normal program” and Troy Andersen will be “progressing a little further” in practice
The Falcons sit atop the NFC South with a 5-3 overall record and a perfect 4-0 mark in the division, thanks to their season sweep of the Buccaneers. Kirk Cousins has seemingly started to find his footing following the first major injury of his career. He threw for 276 yards and four scores on 23
The Braves followed a historic offensive campaign in 2023 with a disappointing performance in 2024. While injuries played a significant role in this decline, regression also contributed, leading the club to part ways with Kevin Seitzer and replace him with Georgia native Tim Hyers. Hyers, who is relatively young by Brian Snitker’s staff standards, has
A new name that popped up on Falcons fans’ radars ahead of the trade deadline is an old friend — Calais Campbell. Kevin Patra of NFL.com suggests a reunion should be considered, and it’s hard to look at the state of the two franchises and argue. The Falcons obviously need to add to the pass
The Falcons are preparing for America’s Team to come to Atlanta, and injuries could be a key factor in what decides this matchup. The Cowboys will be without DeMarcus Lawrence, Brandin Cooks, and Marshawn Kneeland and could be without Micah Parsons, DaRon Bland, Jordan Phillips, and Chuma Edoga. That’s a lot of critical pieces. Meanwhile,
