The Atlanta Falcons need to do something similar that the Houston Texans did getting rid of Brock Osweiler. The Texans gave Osweiler a massive contract in free agency and they needed to get rid of his contract. At the time the Cleveland Browns had a ton of cap space, so the Houston Texans gave the Browns a second-round pick to take Osweiler’s contract.
For the Atlanta Falcons to have cap space they will have to do something similar with large contracts on their team. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are not going to be traded so fans need to get that out of their head right now.
