Atlanta Falcons have to create cap space going into offseason

If the Atlanta Falcons want to compete for a playoff spot next year, no matter who’s the coach, there are some serious holes on the team that need to be fixed. But with the current cap space, the Falcons don’t have what it takes to spend big on free agents.

So, once again they will be forced to rely on young talent and draft picks while losing some veteran players. That’s not the solution for immediate success.

The Falcons have about $5.4 million in cap space according to Spotrac. Going into next year, they dip into the negatives.
