The upcoming free agency period will be interesting, if only because the Falcons will be involved. With two prior seasons requiring Terry Fontenot to restructure deals just to keep the lights on, he enters free agency with the second-most cap space in the NFL. That means Atlanta can be in on any and many players.
The problem is that looking at the top available players, like Lamar Jackson and Daron Payne—as well as Kaleb McGary—is that those players have a strong likelihood of getting franchise and sticking with their current team. Others look much more likely to become available and subject to Atlanta’s potential spending spree.
