Could the Falcons make some surprising in-house moves in 2021?

The Atlanta Falcons 2021 offseason, its first under the new Arthur Smith/Terry Fontenot regime, is just getting started.

This week, the team made a handful of moves, releasing longtime safety Ricardo Allen, veteran defensive end Allen Bailey and developing quarterback Kurt Benkert. These are maybe not major surprises, but reminders that the changes are just starting.

The certainty is change, as it will be in times of transition, so I sat down and thought about some of the moves that might be less likely but would qualify as surprises and could be on the table for a brand new regime.
