If the safety position barely changed this offseason, the cornerback position actually changed quite a bit for the Atlanta Falcons. Our favorite team added multiple undrafted free agents and signed a handful of veterans for competition, aiming to craft better depth for 2024.
What isn’t clear is whether they’ve changed the starting lineup at all. Down the stretch, the Falcons were playing A.J. Terrell, Clark Phillips, and Mike Hughes/Dee Alford, and all four players are credibly in the mix for starting jobs again this coming season. It’s possible the Falcons, who had Jeff Okudah and Tre Flowers as well last year, have simply swapped out players to get their hands on depth the coaching staff is more comfortable with.
