With training camp only 23 days away, it is time to look at how the Falcons are looking now that we are almost at the two-month mark until the season. The Falcons are in the best-case scenario when it comes to how their offense looks, and how they have brought in the necessary pieces for their defense.

With key new additions like Jalon Walker, James Pearce Jr., Xavier Watts, Jamal Agnew and Leonard Floyd, there have been key adds to the defensive side of the ball. On offense it is a bit different, it is mainly star players gaining more experience and coming off their best seasons.

The main story for the Falcons outside of the Kirk Cousins drama, is how Michael Penix Jr. can adjust to being a full-time starter. As of right now it is looking like Penix can take over this team and can be the quarterback that the Falcons have been looking for since Matt Ryan left.

The other story has been about Kyle Pitts and what will happen with him. As of right now he is a Falcon and will need to have his best career season if he wants to remain a member of the team and get a new contract for 2026. There have been multiple trade rumors for him including the Chiefs and Dolphins.

As of right now, the Falcons are one of the more intriguing teams for the 2025 season and will look to continue to improve. There are so many more stories to come out before the season begins and more updates for the Falcons will continue to come.
