It’s no secret that the Falcons have had an abysmal 2018 season. Injuries gutted key parts of the offense and defense early in the season, and Atlanta was simply never able to recover. The poor year has also exposed some “weak links” on the roster, which could provide some interesting/difficult decisions for the Falcons front office in the 2019 offseason. Due to some savvy contract construction and other quirks, Atlanta has an opportunity to move on from some big-name players—and save a ton of cap space in doing so.
The Falcons are likely to shake up the roster in 2019.
