The Falcons quietly begin re-stocking the roster through free agency

After the Deshaun Watson trade either goes through or falls through, after the Falcons address how and why they brought him on or at least tried so hard to, there will be a roster to build. Atlanta came into this offseason with zero proven NFL receivers, a questionable offensive line, and zero specialists under contract on special teams. They then saw Foye Oluokun and Russell Gage sign elsewhere while they cleared cap space and—we know this now—geared up to pursue Watson. That news understandably took over everything else, but the reality is that no matter who is under center for Atlanta in 2022, this is a roster that needs substantial improvement in order for the Falcons to contend.
