Imagine a world where the Falcons have a new head coach and a new general manager in 2021. The NFL somehow found a way to make the 2020 season happen, but the Falcons failed to make the playoffs for a third consecutive season.

If you can’t get it done with this roster in the next, let’s say, 2-3 years, then this isn’t the job for you.
The Falcons already have a lot of cap space committed to 2021
