The Falcons currently have 13 wide receivers on the roster. We all know they’ll cut that number down to five or six before the regular season begins, but it’s a pretty incredible number, especially after the team began the offseason with so few options.
Why is that? Tori McElhaney got Arthur Smith’s thoughts on the state of the receiver group and it was illuminating, but more intriguingly for our purposes, it appears the wide receivers and tight ends the team sheds in the coming weeks may well open up spots for additions to the offensive and defensive lines.
