These Falcons don’t want to go into the 2023 NFL Draft with holes on the roster, which means the quiet days we’ve seen since Atlanta’s early splashes in free agency won’t last. The first wave of this Falcons free agency period is over, however, and the majority of their big splashes in free agency have ended with it.
That’s not a criticism or a resignation to boring days, especially because the Falcons just signed Mack Hollins last night. It’s just an acknowledgement that we’ve shifted gears. The Falcons went on a spending spree that saw them extend star guard Chris Lindstrom, bring back most of their critical free agents, and land a star safety and other key pieces along the way.
