ATLANTA -- On Monday, the Atlanta Falcons finally showed what the “next phase” of their rebuilding process was going to look like.
It’s how general manager Terry Fontenot described this offseason, where the Falcons would have money to spend for the first time since he and Arthur Smith were hired in January 2021.
“We had a plan from the very beginning and now we’re in the next phase of that,” Fontenot said. “This is going to be a different offseason than we’ve had in the previous years."
The next phase means being competitive in free agency and not having to wait for bargains.
