This upcoming year will have a lot to do with how the Atlanta Falcons decided to spend their money in 2022, but it is never too early to guess what they might do.

The Falcons only have a couple players that they need to prioritize resigning. Those include the amazing Younghoe Koo, Russell Gage, and Foyesade Oluokun.

After those three names, there are a few that you would love to have back; Jacob Tuioti-Mariner, Duron Harmon, and Olamide Zaccheaus. Luckily for the Falcons, none of those guys should be too expensive – minus Foye Oluokun.

The other good news is that the 2022 crop of free agents has a good amount of pass rushers. Something the Falcons sorely need.

Here is a look at potential targets for the Atlanta Falcons during the next offseason, starting with a veteran pass rusher from the Eagles.

Atlanta Falcons free agent target: Brandon Graham – DE

Previous team: Philadelphia Eagles

Brandon Graham may not totally fit what the Atlanta Falcons are projected to do on defense, but that does not mean he cannot help out the team in a big way.

Graham will always be a special player to Eagles fans, he iced their first super bowl win by strip-sacking Tom Brady. With that being said, this could be the final year for Graham in an Eagles uniform.

Graham has been a consistent threat for a great Eagles defensive line through the years. While he has never broken ten sacks, that does not take into account the amount of pressure he consistently generates.

Not to mention, at this point, anyone is an upgrade over what the Atlanta Falcons have at pass rusher.
