The Falcons shocked the entire NFL world when they drafted Michael Penix Jr. with the 8th overall pick around six weeks after giving Kirk Cousins a $180 million free agent contract. The club surprised their fan base, media pundits, and Cousins himself, who was admittedly taken back by the draft pick. It seemed as if
The Braves waited until there was less than 24 hours until the trade deadline to make their first move, but it’s expected to be a significant addition in the form of a pair of reunions with Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson. Atlanta ended up shipping Tyler Matzek and a low-level minor-league infielder to San Francisco
The Braves made the first trade of the 2024 trade deadline last night by acquiring a couple of old friends from the Giants in Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson in exchange for Tyler Matzek and Sabin Ceballos. Soler isn’t having the best season, but it’s much better than what Atlanta currently has in the outfield,
The Falcons moved on from Arthur Smith because he decided to hitch his wagon to Desmond Ridder, and it resulted in another underwhelming 7-10 finish. Smith’s offense had middling results despite having one of the better offensive lines in the league and three top 10 draft picks at skill positions. A lot of Falcons fans
The hype surrounding the Falcons offense grows with each passing day of training camp, with the most recent compliment coming from veteran Ray-Ray McCloud, who told Atlanta media that it reminds him of his time with the 49ers.

We are less than 24 hours away from tomorrow’s 6 PM deadline, and Alex Anthopoulos has yet to strike a deal. As the clock ticks, other clubs are making acquisitions, some of which made sense for the Braves, including Lane Thomas.
The Braves began their weekend series against the Mets with two losses, both of which were demoralizing for completely different reasons. On Thursday, Chris Sale tossed an absolute gem that Atlanta fumbled away with elementary base running and defensive mistakes. On Friday, New York rocked Charlie Morton, and the Braves didn’t even put up a
The trade deadline is about 24 hours away, and the Braves have yet to make a trade. They were reportedly in discussions with the White Sox, but the player at hand wasn’t clear. Garrett Crochet was linked to Atlanta; we do know that it won’t be one of Erick Fedde or Tommy Pham, as the
For the first time in what feels like a lifetime, the Falcons have a surplus of quality quarterbacks with Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. headling the group, which may leave Taylor Heinicke on the outside looking inward. With Cousins starting and Penix as the backup and successor, Heinicke is expendable. However, Raheem Morris began
The Braves have yet to make a move at the trade deadline, but there are more than 24 hours left until the final bell. If we’ve learned anything from Alex Anthopoulos, Atlanta isn’t done dealing until the fat lady sings. In the last couple of days, reports have surfaced linking the Braves to the White
