According to Zach Klein, the Falcons would “1,000 percent” trade Kyle Pitts if the opportunity presented itself. There has been plenty of speculation about the Falcons potentially putting Kyle Pitts on the trade block, but this is the first report suggesting that they will be actively looking for a dance partner. Pitts was supposed to
There is an NFL factory in Athens. Since Kirby Smart took over the Georgia program, nobody has produced more draft picks than the Bulldogs. There are some absolutely ridiculous stats about Smart’s impressive resume. The Dawgs head coach has produced more first-round picks (17) than losses (16) during his eight seasons in Athens. Georgia has
How could the Falcons not know that Kirk Cousins was injured? How on earth is that possible? At the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot were asked about Cousins’ comments, with Atlanta’s head coach and general manager saying they were unaware the signal caller was dealing with an injury. Cousins broke the
The Falcons have a number of needs, and sometimes the best use of resources, which Atlanta has a limited supply of, is to buy low on a player in need of a change of scenery. There are always players, whether it’s due to injuries, contracts, or other circumstances, that are on the trade market. For
Whether it’s an interior defender, an edge defender, or secondary help, Falcons fans will be irate if Terry Fontenot doesn’t draft a defender in the first round of the NFL Draft. A popular name among fans is college football’s sack leader. How about that? Fixing the worst pass rush in football with the nation’s leader
Trae Young has never played with an All-Star. While Dejounte Murray earned that honor before his time with the Hawks, he never reached that level of play in Atlanta. Young’s detractors love to leave that little detail out of their narratives. Simply put, the Hawks will never accomplish anything without another star. Yes, Jalen Johnson
The Falcons pass rush has been a weakness for two decades, but the hope is Terry Fontenot and Raheem Morris can put that to bed in 2025. There’s not much of a foundation, with Arnold Ebiketie, Bralen Trice, Zach Harrison, and Ruke Orhorhoro as the young building blocks, joined by veterans in Grady Jarrett and
Seemingly every year, the Braves produce a talent that comes out of nowhere to make an impact at the major league level. Last year, it was Spencer Schwellenbach, who established himself as a mainstay in Atlanta’s rotation. Before him, it was Michael Harris II and Spencer Strider, who finished first and second in the Rookie
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
