The Atlanta Falcons signed several defenders to reserve/future contracts back in early January. In the nearly two-and-a-half months that have elapsed since that time, the team has brought aboard a defensive-minded head coach and entirely new staff, and have signed exactly two defenders. Those were both re-signings, with exclusive rights free agent Nate Landman and defensive lineman Kentavius Street back in Atlanta for 2024.
No one would deny that the Falcons have improved their offense, having swapped out the rolling 2022-2023 quarterback fiasco for proven high-end competence in Kirk Cousins and having added needed speed to the receiving corps.
