6 potentially affordable DTs the Falcons could try to sign in free agency

Unless the Falcons have one hell of a curve to throw us in the near-term, they’re mostly going to sign free agents after the initial frenzy of signings have died down. That means we must retire our dreams of signing some of the biggest names on the market in favor of (hopefully) quality players who don’t exactly excite the fanbase, which will hopefully work out well and not hamstring this team financially.

One of the positions where they may sniff around is defensive tackle. That may seem odd—Grady Jarrett is under contract, Jack Crawford was a very useful player in 2018, and Deadrin Senat has a ton of promise—but bear in mind that they went out of their way to sign and use Terrell McClain last year, and that Jarrett’s current long-term uncertainty and Crawford’s impending free agency makes a signing a real possibility.
