As soon as the Atlanta Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson, it put Tyler Allgeier's time with the team on the clock. Even as the RB2, the fourth-year running back has still managed to carve out a meaningful role in one of the NFL's most potent ground attacks—but his looming free agency threatens his time in Atlanta more than ever before.
Allgeier has long been the subject of trade rumors, but Fontenot has never entertained the idea of trading him as his 225-pound frame perfectly complements Robinson's elusiveness. After rushing for 1,035 yards as a rookie, the 24-year-old proved he's more than capable of leading a backfield on his own, but has been content remaining a Falcon—for now.
