Oh, well, maybe not?

The Falcons aren’t exactly broke, but as things stand, they’ve got a comfortable amount of cash right now to take care of in-house business, sign their draft class, add one or two rotational pieces to the defense and save the money for a rainy day.

That could change with a few moves, but do keep in mind that, unlike last year, the Falcons do have some mid-round draft picks to play with, and those (now including the conditional picks) are now tradeable.
