For the second consecutive year, the Falcons will be expected to be urgent and decisive in free agency, not to mention willing to spend. The new coaching regime has plenty to prove with the roster ready to compete. Part of the reason they are in a position to be a playoff team is due to their ability to make several terrific signings last offseason.
They added four terrific defensive starters, including one who produced an All-Pro season. Addressing needs and adding difference-makers is the recipe for success in free agency. They did it in key defensive positions last year.
