We have begged the Atlanta Falcons to address the pass rush for years, and they’ve done so only in fits and starts. There were signs that general manager Terry Fontenot was trying to do more—we all saw reports of their interest in Montez Sweat and Danielle Hunter—but Atlanta came into the summer with only draft picks added to the room. When one of their most promising young edge rushers went down thanks to a season-ending injury for Bralen Trice, it was clear they couldn’t just do nothing.
They’ve done something, and it’s a major something.
