One of the biggest myths amongst a lot of Braves fans is that the club doesn’t have talent in their farm system. It’s been gutted in recent years due to trades and graduations. That’s what happens when you’re competing for championships year after year. The farm system becomes an afterthought. However, there aren’t many organizations
The Atlanta Falcons have nine Pro Football Hall of Famers and 11 members in their Ring of Honor, two of which overlap. The Hall of Famers are Morten Anderson, Bobby Beathard, Eric Dickerson, Chris Doleman, Brett Favre, Tony Gonzalaz, Claude Humphrey, Tommy McDonald, and Deion Sanders.

The veteran signed with Atlanta about six weeks earlier in free agency, to the tune of $180 million with more than half of it fully guaranteed. Reports surfaced immediately following
The Falcons haven’t had a ton of success drafting in recent years, but there have been a couple of players that have gone onto carve nice little careers for themselves, and John Cominsky is one of them. He was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and played 10 games as a rookie, logging just 11 total

The Falcons enter the 2024 campaign with playoff aspirations and an offense that projects to get them there. Zac Robinson and Kirk Cousins will have to assimilate, and the veteran’s Achilles will certainly be a factor in the unit’s effectiveness, but other than that, where are the question marks? Cousins isn’t Patrick Mahomes, but he
The Falcons announced a flurry of roster moves on Thursday afternoon, including one surprising cut. Atlanta signed Nathan Rourke, who won the MVP equivalent in the CFL, and Jordan Thomas while parting ways with John Paddock and Daylen Bladwin in corresponding moves. https://twitter.com/TerrinWaack/status/1819102539339440356 Paddock, an undrafted rookie free agent, was the surprise because he apparently
The Braves begin a four-game set against the Marlins tonight in what has to be a series that Atlanta wins at least three with Miami sporting a literal Tripla-A lineup after the trade deadline. The club sits 6.5 games behind the first-place Phillies in the NL East, and they could be getting their horses back
The Braves came out of the trade deadline with Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson, leaving many fans in Atlanta disappointed after anticipating a handful of moves from Alex Anthopoulos.
