Disclaimer: Due to the nature of Atlanta’s cap situation, I did not grade these moves based on the “splashy” nature, but purely off their potential effectiveness and how they affect the team in the near future.
Free agency is a time of hope in a time where most NFL fans are yearning for it. The new league year starts and the page is officially turned toward the 2025 season. For the Atlanta Falcons, there were questions about what this free agency period would hold after coming into the week over the cap. General Manager Terry Fontenot spent his first two years scraping the Falcons out of cap hell, all for one ill-advised contract to potentially push Atlanta right back into it.
