The Atlanta Falcons have been busy this offseason, acquiring multiple starters in free agency alongside noteworthy draft capital thanks to previous trades. One area where the team hasn’t made a splash is at the most important position of all: quarterback. Atlanta has second-year prospect Desmond Ridder (who started four games at the end of the 2022 season), signed veteran Taylor Heinicke to a reasonable deal, and still has 2018 seventh-rounder Logan Woodside on the roster.
Naturally, that has led to rampant speculation about the team’s plans for the position—both in 2023 and beyond. Much of the discussion has centered around acquiring former MVP Lamar Jackson, who received the non-exclusive franchise tag from the Baltimore Ravens a few weeks back.
