This offseason is a critical one for the Falcons. They’ll get back three of their best defenders heading into next season, plus one of their starting guards, and should have enough cap space to play with to make substantive improvements to the roster. They can free up millions more by cutting ties with players like Robert Alford, Ryan Schraeder and Vic Beasley who have been disappointing this year, if they want to go that route.
That leaves us plenty to look forward to, if you’re a roster move enthusiast, but might leave you wondering what the Falcons should and could do over their final five games.
