Atlanta Falcons free agency 2026: Tyler Goodson joins the backfield
The Atlanta Falcons have used this week to remake their backfield depth chart behind Bijan Robinson. Tyler Goodson is the newest addition, per the team. Goodson will be competing with Nate Carter and Carlos Washington Jr. for third running back duties in Atlanta, and is the most established player in that group. In 33 games […]
Bijan Robinson extension on the way this offseason, per Adam Schefter
Bijan Robinson has been endlessly lauded for his excellence, and that’s all well-deserved. Bijan led the NFL in scrimmage yards by over 150 yards last year, was behind only Christian McCaffrey for receiving yards from a running back, and reeled off some of the most impressive runs of any back in 2025. He’s a special […]

Falcons free agency review and news: Tuesday Takes with Tre’Shon
The Falcons added a couple of offensive free agents on Tuesday, including running back Brian Robinson Jr. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down the latest news and give their review of Atlanta’s free agency moves thus far.

Atlanta Falcons free agency 2026: Brian Robinson Jr. joins the running back room
One of Atlanta’s biggest remaining roster holes has been filled. The Falcons lost an excellent backup running back in Tyler Allgeier, and now they’ve got another Robinson to spell Bijan. That would be Brian Robinson Jr., who signed the latest in a long line of one-year contracts the Falcons have handed out this offseason. The […]
Atlanta Falcons free agency 2026: Trevor Siemian is the new QB3
Yesterday, I stumped for the Falcons adding a third quarterback with experience, given that they have legitimate injury concerns for both quarterbacks vying for the starting job. Today, they signed that player, though it wasn’t one of the ones on my radar. Per NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, Trevor Siemian will be joining the falcons as […]
Atlanta Falcons 2026 free agency: Who is still out there for Atlanta?
The first wave of free agency is over, and what’s left is not going to knock your socks off. That assumes you’re wearing socks, but roll with me. With the Falcons still looking to patch a few holes and pump up a few weaker areas of the depth chart, though, there’s talent available to help […]
The Falcoholic Reacts: Excitement for Georgia’s Finest
There is always extra zest from a fanbase when a player from the state’s most beloved college football team joins the state’s professional football team. There is much more to Azeez Ojulari’s background that makes him the most exciting defensive free-agent signing in Atlanta. An edge rusher who has proven to get after quarterbacks will […]
Falcons trade for Eagles safety Sydney Brown
The Atlanta Falcons have pulled off their first trade of the Ian Cunningham era, and it’s aimed at adding some depth and possible upside to their secondary. Per ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, Atlanta pulled off a pick swap with the Philadelphia Eagles to get safety Sydney Brown, who will celebrate his 26th birthday tomorrow as a […]
Falcons 2027 compensatory picks: Atlanta set to have three additional selections next year
The Falcons have not made heavy use of compensatory selections over the years. They’re tied for 15th in comp picks since 1995 with 22, per Over The Cap, but eight of those selections were earned in a two year stretch from 2013-2014. Otherwise, the Falcons have never had more than two in a single year, […]
Atlanta Falcons free agency 2026: First wave of signings earns lukewarm grades
“We need to have a clearer vision on offense, defense, and teams and how we are going to play. Have a coaching staff that understands that clearly. A GM who understands clearly. How do you build players, bring them into the roster that match that system and that philosophy, and hold people accountable for their […]
Falcons remaining needs after free agency: Falcoholic Live, Ep367
The Falcons stocked their roster with low-cost veterans in free agency, but there are still a number of needs to address. Kevin Knight takes a look at where Atlanta still needs to invest in both free agency and the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode of The Falcoholic Live! Watch the […]
Falcons Reacts Survey: Assessing the potential of defensive signings
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Falcons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Despite not making any glamorous moves, the Falcons have been diligent in adding players to bolster […]
Free Agency Roundtable: The Falcons are quietly active
The legendary John Wooden once said “never mistake activity for achievement.” It’s one of the quotes that aligns with the overall landscape of free agency. Some teams have all the cap space imaginable. They sign talented players to lucrative contracts, who may or may not elevate their franchise. Some teams focus far more on building […]
Falcons free agency 2026: Atlanta signs CB Darnay Holmes
Yesterday, I stumped for the Falcons to add more talent at cornerback. Today, they’ve done so, though it’s a signing meant to build depth rather than replacing a potential starter. They’ve signed former Raider and Giant Darnay Holmes, who will be 28 when the season starts, to give themselves more help on defense and special […]
Did the Falcons do enough in free agency?
The first week of NFL free agency has come and gone. Did the Falcons do enough to accomplish their goals? Kevin Knight breaks down the latest signings and discusses whether or not Atlanta did what they set out to do in free agency, and what their ultimate goals might be for the 2026 season. Fellow […]
2026 Falcons free agency: What the Falcons have and have not accomplished thus far
Free agency is hardly over yet, and Atlanta’s latest round of cap-clearing restructures suggests they still plan to be active. The fact that the signings have slowed makes it a good time to take a breather, figure out what Atlanta has accomplished to this point, and talk about what remains incomplete. The Falcons have addressed […]
Falcons restructure A.J. Terrell’s deal
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 […]
The Falcoholic Reacts: Believe in Tua?
It’s understandable for a fanbase to be optimistic in March when a significant signing is made. While championships aren’t normally won in free agency, this time period can be a crucial supplement to the long-term vision. The Falcons’ new regime is operating toward the future based on their lack of major signings. Despite navigating through […]
Falcons free agency 2026: Atlanta signs DL Da’Shawn Hand
The Falcons have talked about the importance of building up the trenches, and at least on the defensive side of the ball, the money’s echoing that sentiment. The Falcons came into Friday having signed Samson Ebukam, Azeez Ojulari, and Cameron Thomas to shore up their edge group, and brought back LaCale London and welcomed Chris […]
Falcons raise their floor with early free agency returns
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 […]
Vote for the best Falcons safety from 2000-2025
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 […]
James Pearce Jr. updates: The latest on Falcons EDGE’s arrest, felony charges, timeline
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 […]
Falcons free agency 2026: Atlanta signs OLB Samson Ebukam
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 […]
Falcons free agency 2026: Atlanta brings back DL LaCale London
A fair number of Falcons free agents have either left or will be leaving as a new regime puts its stamp on the franchise. Darnell Mooney, Kirk Cousins, and KhaDarel Hodge have been cut and are seeking new teams, David Onyemata, Dee Alford, and Kaden Elliss already landed with other franchises, and more will come. […]
