The Atlanta Falcons were expectedly quiet early in the legal tampering period.

The first two days of the legal tampering period have seen a flurry of activity, just not for the Atlanta Falcons. The big news is the restructuring of Matt Ryans’ contract. The move gets the Falcons under the cap.

A few more restructures and contract extensions/renegotiations will give the Falcons the cash they need to make a signing or two.
