As I wrote earlier this morning, the Falcons are doing a couple of things at the same time. One is hunkering down and trying to figure out how they’re going to message their failed attempt to trade for Deshaun Watson. The second is figuring out the roster, the most consequential piece of which is the return or non-return of Matt Ryan. There’s many needs beyond that, however.
I thought it would be worth spending part of your Saturday afternoon looking at the biggest remaining roster holes for the Falcons after the initial wave of free agency. Chances are good the team won’t sign anyone of consequence until they figure out whether they’re moving Ryan or not, but Terry Fontenot and the front office know they have some significant holes to patch.
