Kaden Ellis got $11 million per year in free agency

39 edge rushers, make at least $11 million per year

pass rushers > than roving linebackers

Is there smoke, or is ESPN just blowing smoke. Kyle Pitts trade talk... might be a little bit of both

Bijan Robinson Contract
2026 - Fully Guaranteed
2027 - Fifth Year Option - Fully Guaranteed
2028 - Franchise Tag Deadline, 20 months from now in 2028

So, yes, the Falcons have Bijan Robinson under contract for 2 more seasons before they can even make a decision on the franchise tag.

The false urgency of this narrative... 🤦‍♂️

After seeing his usage plummet to the lowest point of his career, Brian Robinson Jr. was looking for an opportunity this offseason.

He found one with the Falcons, but there will be some big shoes to fill.

The Pat McAfee show, including former NFL DB Darius Butler, chimed in on the value of Drake London's new contract with the Atlanta Falcons

[Garrett Chapman @gchapatl]

The Atlanta Falcons made their first major financial bet on the franchise's next era with their extension of Drake London, and the decision will age well as one of the better decisions the new front office will make.

More on why this decision is the right one 👇

@TheFalcoholic the Falcons FLEECED the Raiders in that trade for Hall. Raiders cut him before the season was even over.

Talented, but a net negative

[Scott Kennedy @ScoutKennedy]

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah suggested a 12-piece blueprint for competing for a Super Bowl. How close are the Atlanta Falcons?

Falcons lock down Drake London on a massive new four-year deal worth more than any skill player in franchise history.

More on that deal here.

The Atlanta Falcons have locked up one of their key stars in Drake London is a massive new deal. Arthur Blank takes care of his own.

For Reference, the Atlanta Falcons drafted 31 OL Since 2000

OC - 5
OG - 16
OT - 10

Took a little deeper look... Day 1 or Day 2 OL

OC - 2
OG - 5
OT - 4

The Eagles also used 11 Day 1 and Day 2 picks in that time frame

In that same period, they've drafted:

DBs - 45
WR - 23
RB - 16

[Garrett Chapman @gchapatl]

Bill Callahan could be the most significant change for the Falcons this season.

“We want to be a team that outworks other teams, and when they put our film on, they see something different,” LT Jake Matthews said. “I think we’ve got something special starting.”

Divine Deablo made an immediate impact during his first season with the Falcons, but they will need him more than ever in year two.

James Pearce's situation is loaded with uncertainty. Will he face a suspension? How many games? When could it come?

Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is left to pick up the pieces, but how is he approaching this period of uncertainty?

Matt Ryan is a franchise icon on the field, and now he is making his presence felt off it, too.

[Garrett Chapman @gchapatl]

Mike Hughes was the subject of plenty of criticism over the last year after his struggles on the field and with injury. The franchise then went and found a potential replacement in the offseason.

“All that does is bring competition into the room, and it makes everybody better.”

More on Hughes' reaction to the Falcons drafting Avieon Terrell 👇
