It’s free agency month for the Atlanta Falcons, a first chance for the new guys on the block to show us what their vision is for the team. General manager Terry Fontenot spent years helping the cap-strapped New Orleans Saints make deal after deal in free agency, which makes you wonder if he’ll take the same approach in Atlanta.
While the team still is about $20 million over the cap, you should still expect the front office to get busy to help get this roster in competing shape sooner than later. Free agency, whether extensively pillaged or lightly threaded, is the start to that process.
