We’re still a little less than a month away from the 2024 NFL Draft, which means that teams like the Atlanta Falcons still have plenty of time to do their due diligence in planning their draft strategies.
The Falcons waived WR Jared Bernhardt from the retired list per the transactions wire. Bernhardt, 26, previously starred in lacrosse at Maryland, starting on their National Championship team in 2017 as a freshman and was later named the top player in the country.
One of the best stories of the Falcons’ 2023 campaign was undrafted free agent Nate Landman’s breakout season. Atlanta re-signed the exclusive rights free agent earlier in the offseason in a no-brainer kind of decision, and Landman is earning even more money than initially anticipated for his outstanding 2023 season.
Are you taking the over or the under? DraftKings Sportsbook released its 2024 projected win totals last week for every NFL team. After three straight years of 7-10 finishes from Atlanta, DraftKings set the Falcons’ win total sights a little higher, establishing the over/under at 9.5 wins.
Can Seattle keep it going? Will there be any further separation in the middle of the pack? And will things get even worse for struggling traditional powers like Green Bay? Let’s get to the games.
The Falcons welcomed a handful of new players to Atlanta this offseason, none bigger than Kirk Cousins, who signed a $180 million deal over four years.
We are officially getting closer to football. We are a few cycles of the moon away from seeing the Atlanta Falcons in training camp, much less the regular season, but their offseason program is kicking off in earnest just a day from now.
Many teams have justified offseason hype, but summer buzz can lead to bitter disappointment. Other squads have failed to either live up to expectations or keep up with their previous pace, leading to missed opportunities and/or sweeping changes.
It’s draft season as the Falcons prepare for a campaign where expectations are set higher than they’ve been since 2017. With Kirk Cousins in the fold, Raheem Morris doesn’t have the luxury that his predecessor did.
The veteran quarterback is hoping to stick as Kirk Cousins’ backup in 2024. When the Atlanta Falcons traded Desmond Ridder, it seemed likely Taylor Heinicke would be on the team for at least the spring and summer, given that he’s the only quarterback besides Kirk Cousins under contract.
Offense is the name of the game in the modern NFL, and offensive play callers have never been more creative. Here's a look at the top NFL play-callers from 1-32 early in the 2022 season.
Terry Fontenot has done his best work in free agency, but drafting and developing will always be the surest way to have sustained success in this league, and the Falcons general manager hasn’t had as much success in that area.

The Falcons signaled to their fan base and the rest of the league that they believe, whether it’s true or not, they’re contenders with Kirk Cousins. Arthur Blank gave Terry Fontenot the go-ahead to give the veteran $180 million with $100 million guaranteed, and it fixed Atlanta’s single biggest problem over the last three years.
The Falcons have a glaring need for a pass rusher but have yet to fill the void. Terry Fontenot shouldn’t go into the draft with the defense as it’s currently constructed.
The Falcons begin a new chapter in the franchise’s book under Raheem Morris this season, and that story will start next week, April 2nd, when players will report to Flowery Branch for workouts with the new staff.
The Falcons absolutely refuse to improve their pass rush, I guess. With limited options on the free agent market, Haason Reddick seemed to be a trade target that made the most sense.
The Falcons shocked a lot of people in last year’s draft, but those people just haven’t been paying close enough attention. Terry Fontenot has taken the best player available in every draft he’s been Atlanta’s GM.
During the opening of the free agency period, the Atlanta Falcons made a bold move by actively pursuing quarterback Kirk Cousins, securing the former Vikings signal-caller with a lucrative four-year contract worth $180 million.
Terry Fontenot has done great work building out the offense around Kirk Cousins. Most of the Falcons roster needs sit on the defensive side of the ball at this point in the offseason.
One of the NFL’s top tacklers has a new deal in place.
The Atlanta Falcons announced on Thursday they have cut OL Justin Shaffer. He had yet to appear in a game for Atlanta. Shaffer, 25, was drafted by the
