There has been a rumor going around for a bit now that the Falcons were interested in adding wide receiver help. While it was pretty nebulous from what I saw, it was also a logical rumor, given that Atlanta’s receiver corps is one of the league’s thinnest groups.
Now we’re seeing there was truth underpinning that rumor, as the Falcons have made a trade with the Rams to scoop up wide receiver Van Jefferson. It’s a swap of sixth and seventh rounders in 2025, so it’s looking like an extremely cheap roll of the dice on a young player.
