FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot and coach Arthur Smith sat at a table last Wednesday and for the first time since they took over, they could approach an offseason differently.
After two seasons of roster overhauling and eliminating issues with the salary cap, they could spend the next couple of months figuring out what they need and what they want to add without worrying as much about how to pay for it.
“We had a plan from the very beginning, and now we’re in the next phase of that,” Fontenot said.
