The season is over, and the Falcons are wasting no time signing players to futures deals. That means it’s tracker time!
First off, let’s review what a futures contract is. Essentially, any player who was not on an active roster at the end of the 2021 season is eligible to be signed to one of these deals, which do not count against the roster limit or salary cap until the 2022 league year begins in March. At that point, they’ll count against the 90 man roster limit. In the meantime, they’re on the team’s reserve/futures list and can’t be signed by any teams.
