The Falcons needed to find a way to add affordable wide receiver help, because no matter how aggressively they attacked the position in the draft, there was going to be a shortage of proven options here.
Auden Tate doesn’t solve that issue all by himself, but he’s the most interesting addition yet for the Falcons, and a player who may find his way to a significant role in this passing game. Atlanta announced the signing a little while ago.
Tate is just 25 years old and has the size the Falcons are looking for at the position, standing 6’5”.
