The season’s over, which means the work of the offseason must begin in earnest. The Atlanta Falcons have made it clear that their 2023 performance was not acceptable by firing Arthur Smith and vowing to do better, but we’ve heard those vows before. Getting there means hiring the right coach and stocking the roster with the right players.
Even though there is no head coach in the building, the team is still making roster moves. Earlier this week, they signed former CFL standout and wide receiver Austin Mack. Yesterday, amidst the end of season press conference and the fallout of the Smith firing, they also signed 13 players to reserve/future contracts, and the hope will be that they provide at least quality competition for the summer, if not critical depth via the roster or practice squad.
