The Atlanta Falcons are set to have a fair amount of cap space in 2024, and they can easily free up more by cutting ties with a few players who don’t have particularly strong ties to the new coaching staff. They’re also not likely to sink much in the way of cap space into their impending list of free agents.
The firing of Arthur Smith ensured that many of the players he liked and relied on in both Tennessee and Atlanta will not be back, while other players were never particularly likely to return as the Falcons turn over disappointing position groups.
