Falcons trade for Bills TE Lee Smith
Photo by Adam Glanzman/Getty ImagesThe Falcons figured to want at least one additional tight end on the roster in 2021, given that they only have Hayden Hurst and Jaeden Graham under contract at the moment. If you had them swapping an undisclosed late round draft choice in 2022 for 33 year old Bills tight end Lee Smith, then you’re a seer and you should probably take up predicting the future as a hobby.
I say that because yes, the Falcons did trade for Smith, marking the second straight season where they’ve swapped for a tight end. Smith, unlike Hurst, isn’t coming in here to catch a bunch of passes.
