Welcome to 2019, Falcons fans. Here’s a list of all the things we think Atlanta needs to accomplish in the coming months to enjoy a successful year and put the bitter taste of 2018 far, far behind us.
Offense
- Let Tevin Coleman go. It’s painful because Coleman has had some genuinely special moments as a Falcon, and was a great complement to Devonta Freeman. But the Falcons already paid top dollars for one running back, and both Ito Smith and Brian Hill showed they’re at least capable backups throughout the course of 2018. Paying Coleman upwards of $4 million per year—and perhaps north of $6 million per year—would be a huge mistake for a team that is going to have tight dollar years coming up with Matt Ryan’s contract, Julio Jones’ impending contract, and big deals for Grady Jarrett, Deion Jones, and Keanu Neal ahead.
