Latest news and updates about the Falcons
Atlanta’s clearly still looking to make some moves in free agency. They restructured Jake Matthews’ deal last week to free up some cap space, and now they’ve done the same with A.J. Terrell’s contract. The restructure gives Atlanta about $9 million more to work with. That in turns makes Terrell’s contract unpalatable to move on […]

There may be more signings to come, but the Falcons have made a fair amount of noise in free agency thus far. It hasn’t been loud noise, mind you, outside of the buzz that comes with signing a quarterback like Tua Tagovailoa and getting back a couple of old fan favorites in Austin Hooper and […]

Okay, now we’re into the competitive races. After finalizing our specialists with Matt Bryant, Matt Bosher, and Allen Rossum (Eric Weems will help handle kicks, too!), we’re moving on to defense. That begins with safety, where we have five contenders for two spots as our starters, and a pretty great crew besides. You’ll see one […]

We will be updating this story as more details become available. James Pearce Jr.’s arrest for a variety of domestic violence-related charges in February seemed to come out of nowhere. But thanks to detailed reporting from Marc Raimondi and former Falcons beat writer Mike Rothstein at ESPN, we now know it didn’t. WNBA player Rickea […]

The Falcons are basically rebuilding their outside linebacker group from scratch, given that Jalon Walker was the only holdover from last year guaranteed to play this year. They have James Pearce Jr. with a cloudy future owing to his arrest and multiple charges and Bralen Trice returning from yet another injury, but it was clear […]

I had just assumed all along that he would be back here as the interior backup guy again for 2026: [UPDATE 4:01 PM] – The Titans have signed former Kansas City Chiefs DE Malik Herring to a 1-year deal, according to Jordan Schultz: […]

The Kirk Cousins era in Atlanta is over after two seasons. As expected, the Falcons have made it official on Wednesday with the start of the new league year, with Adam Schefter reporting the team has cut Cousins. A much-ballyhooed signing, Cousins was supposed to be the gem of the 2024 offseason and provide the […]

The Atlanta Falcons were reportedly interested in Azeez Ojulari at the trade deadline back in 2024, but he did not not join the team in 2025. With a new regime in town, though, the Georgia native and Georgia Bulldog is coming home. This is another buy-low opportunity for Atlanta. Ojulari was coming off a six […]

It’s fitting that on the same day we learned that Josh Uche won’t be returning to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026, we also learned that Azeez Ojulari won’t be back with the Birds. Ojulari is signing a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons, according to reports from NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. Ojulari […]

The Falcons were extremely busy on the first day of legal tampering, busier than I might’ve expected, before a quiet second day. While they still have outsized needs to address in the days ahead, they came away with signings at quarterback, receiver, and on special teams, and they did so by following a blueprint. When […]

Back in 2023, the Atlanta Falcons looked at their hated rivals and saw something they liked: A pair of defenders. The team signed away Kaden Elliss and David Onyemata from the Saints that year, adding a pair of stout options in the middle of the defense, and got multiple years of quality play out of […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers were very active to kickoff the opening day of legal tampering, the unofficial beginning of the new league year. In total, Pittsburgh made six moves, ranging from re-signings, free agent signings, and trades. In light of those moves, these are my grades for every one of them. CB Asante Samuel Re-signing Samuel […]

The Atlanta Falcons were persistently linked to Tua Tagovailoa well before we knew the Miami Dolphins were going to release him. The thought of trading for Tua’s giant contract made me physically ill, especially with his history of concussions and lackluster 2025 season. But the Falcons, who were also linked to Joe Flacco, waited out […]

The Falcons have been quite busy during the opening salvo of legal tampering, with most of their reported/not yet official signings landing on the offensive side of the ball. That doesn’t mean they’ve ignored defense, however. Both of their signings thus far have been young players with some starting experience who look like rotational players […]

Shortly after releasing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, reports came in that he could be bound to Atlanta. Instead, a different former Dolphin is now a Falcon.

On Monday morning, it was announced that the Dolphins were cutting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with a post-June 1st designation at the start of the league year. On Monday afternoon, it was announced that the Atlanta Falcons are expected to sign Tagovailoa — as they were strongly pursuing the former number five overall pick from the […]

The Falcons have a reported flurry of signings on offense (QB Tua Tagovailoa likely, WRs Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus, TE Austin Hooper) and special teams (K Nick Folk, P Jake Bailey), but hadn’t touched defense yet. That all changed with the signing of Cameron Thomas. That last statement probably landed less dramatically than intended […]

The Atlanta Falcons have clearly made it a point of emphasis to rebuild their pass catching options at the onset of free agency, signing former first round pick out of Penn State Jahan Dotson to go along with former Falcons making reunions in Olamide Zaccheaus and Austin Hooper. Dotson will sign a 2-year deal with […]

There’s still a bit of uncertainty as to what the Eagles’ wide receiver room will look like in 2026, but one player we do know WON’T be back in Philadelphia is Jahan Dotson. The Birds’ WR3 is reportedly heading to the Atlanta Falcons on a two-year deal worth $15 million and includes $10 million guaranteed, […]
