The Falcons are going to spend. It may not be money flying toward the five specific free agents you or I want, but they’re going to bring in impactful players and they’re going to stock their depth chart with new additions. That much is certain.
What isn’t certain is how exactly that money will be spent, and whether Atlanta will spend to the hilt or prioritize long-term flexibility. What we do know is that General Manager Terry Fontenot is vowing that the Falcons will continue to do what they’ve largely done in his tenure—be deliberate about the way they’re building this team.
