Taking a look at players under contract for 2021 shows just how bad the cap situation is for the Atlanta Falcons.
Former Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff was supposed to be a salary cap wizard and seemingly for years, he kept the franchise out of salary cap hell.
When looking at the 2021 salary cap situation, it is safe to assume that this was a big part of why he was let go by Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank when he decided to make a coaching change as well.
