For Dontari Poe and Taylor Gabriel, the chances of re-signing in Atlanta are impacted greatly by cost and fit, respectively. As we’ve written, Poe is bound to be expensive enough that he may well price himself out of Atlanta’s range, while the Falcons need to figure out whether they’re willing and able to use Gabriel more effectively before they re-sign him.
Things are a little easier with Adrian Clayborn. The veteran defensive end had one of the greatest defensive games in Falcons franchise history against the Cowboys, putting up six sacks and destroying Dallas’s chances of winning the football game.
