the Atlanta Falcons have been linked to pretty much every free agent on the market but only managed to sign three good pieces. The list of players that they missed out on is pretty deep. The list includes Jerrell Freeman, Chris long, James Laurinaitis, Danny Trevatathan and many others.

The sad thing about it is that the Falcons wouldn’t have had to break the bank on any of these players that they were after. All took relatively cheap contracts to play where they’re playing so that makes it that much more disappointing.

There are still a few players out there worth looking at including Demario Davis and Zach Brown but nothing has happened yet. Let’s hop the Falcons bring in at least one more player. Preferably a linebacker.
