Foye Oluokun is a Jacksonville Jaguar now, thanks to a deal featuring $28 million in guarantees that the Falcons were obviously unable or unwilling to match or exceed. It’s hard to be upset with Oluokun for taking a lucrative deal after a big season, but obviously the Falcons now have to move forward without a player who led the team in forced turnovers and led the NFL in tackles in 2021.
The team may think that they aren’t in the worst position to do so today. Deion Jones is still here, and while the frustration level with him is extremely high in this fanbase, he’s still just going to be 28 years old in 2022 and was playing his first year in a new defense.
