Well, tomorrow is February 14. Happy almost Valentine’s Day to all the beloved lovebirds out there.
And, if you’re single, you can get all warm and fuzzy that, in about a single month, NFL free agency begins.
The Falcons tend to ebb and flow when it comes to acquiring free agents. Some years, the team has the money and motivation to go out and score big name guys. Some years, they don’t. Some years, it goes swimmingly (2016 – Alex Mack, Mohamed Sanu, re-signing Adrian Clayborn, Derrick Shelby, Aldrick Robinson, Courtney Upshaw, LaRoy Reynolds, Matt Schaub, Tom Compton), some years…it very much does not (2014 – Tyson Jackson, Paul Soliai – who was fine, Jon Asamoah – still the strangest whiff in Falcons’ recent history, others I quite frankly can’t remember, which isn’t a good sign).
