The Falcons have some interesting decisions to make in the upcoming 2019 free agency period. Tevin Coleman—who carried the load for Atlanta in 2018 and has been one of the NFL’s premier receiving backs since joining the team in 2015—will be hitting the open market. Spotrac currently has Coleman’s value at around $5M/year, which probably prices him out of the Falcons’ plans in 2019 and beyond.
If Coleman were to depart in free agency, that would leave Atlanta with four RBs under contract for the upcoming season. Only two, Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith, are “proven” assets that can be depended on to play meaningful snaps.
