It’s just the Hawks‘ luck to finally win the NBA lottery, only for it to be dubbed the worst draft class in a decade. There wasn’t a Zion Williamson or Anthony Edwards. Hell, a year sooner or a year later, and the Hawks would’ve been in a position to select Victory Wembanyama or Cooper Flagg.
The Braves have watched three core stars leave in free agency since raising the Commissioner’s Trophy — Freddie Freeman, Dansby Swanson, and most recently, Max Fried. In response, Alex Anthopoulos has taken several different approaches to find replacements. He swung big at first base, acquiring Matt Olson in a blockbuster trade. At shortstop, Anthopoulos landed
Signs are pointing to the Falcons losing Drew Dalman in free agency. ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler reported that the club is prepared to lose the center this offseason. “The Falcons are prepared to lose center Drew Dalman in free agency,” Graziano wrote. “They’d like to have him back but are concerned he can get
The Falcons have a lot to do this offseason, but the chief goal for Terry Fontenot and Raheem Morris should be improving the defense. Thankfully, they understand that. The team never does anything normal, though. Most recently, it was revealed by D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal Constitution that the Falcons would only interview
Terry Fontenot is going to be spinning a lot of plates this offseason. The Falcons’ defense isn’t even close to where it needs to be, so that should be taking up most of Fontenot’s attention, but on the back burner is Kirk Cousins. The Falcons are at a crossroads with the veteran quarterback, and while
The Braves didn’t make many acquisitions this offseason, the only notable one being Jurickson Profar, but like every old baseball head loves to say, “It’s like trading for an All-Star in the middle of the season.” Atlanta is expected to welcome back two of the best players in the sport in Spencer Strider and Ronald
The Falcons don’t have many of their own free agents to bring back, but one is garnering plenty of attention — Drew Dalman. From fourth-round pick to the most sought-after center on the free agent market, Dalman has taken the opportunity and run with it. Now, he’ll be compensated very handsomely, with some even predicting
The Hawks have skidded out of the All-Star break, losing four of their first five games, and it looks all but certain that Atlanta will once again be in the play-in tournament. While the trade deadline acquisitions have helped, they haven’t resulted in more wins because the roster just isn’t where it needs to be
The Falcons should have one overarching goal this offseason — improve the pass rush. Outside of finding Matt Ryan’s successor, it’s been the single biggest task every single offseason for this organization, and nothing has changed. It’s going to take a lot of resources. Whether it’s through the draft, free agency, or the trade market,
One thing is certain for the Falcons in 2025: Grady Jarrett won’t go into the season under his current deal. GM Terry Fontenot even said he was not “untouchable” earlier this week at his press conference ahead of the NFL Combine. Jarrett has more cache in Atlanta than anyone. He is the heart and soul
