The 2021 Atlanta Falcons were an improvement over the 2020 Atlanta Falcons.
Even so, the 2022 Atlanta Falcons might look a lot different than the 2021 Atlanta Falcons.
That’s the conundrum that posits itself for Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith, who survived the bridge year into their new regime and will finally get a substantial opportunity to shape the future of the franchise in the direction they pitched the front office on when they got hired.
With the cap starting to open back up and some gargantuan decisions looming, will the Falcons just try to push up what’s already working or will they bring down the sledgehammer and start the renovations?
