There are no quiet years in Atlanta Falcons history, not with this team’s roller coaster ride of hope and sheer ineptitude. Even in that long history, though, 2024 stands out as one of the busier and wilder calendar years for the franchise, especially this spring.
In 2024, the Falcons fired a head coach, briefly flirted with an aging all-time great to replace him, and wound up bringing on a familiar face. They added not one but two starting-caliber quarterbacks, pulled off a late trade for a pass rusher and signed the biggest safety name on the market, and have endured an up-and-down season.
