There is no other way to put it, the Falcons roster is a disaster

As the title says clearly, the Atlanta Falcons are in a huge mess right now. They have a few cornerstone players such as Kyle Pitts, Chris Lindstrom, and A.J. Terrell, but when you look at the team as a whole, they might be the weakest team in the entire NFL.

The Falcons are set to lose a lot of players through free agency with guys like Foye Oluokun, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Russell Gage all being free agents. The team will not be able to keep them all.

Even before free agency, the team is a disaster. There are numerous players that underperformed last season for various reasons. At the same time, there were also players that were starting that should not be starting in the NFL or are not ready to be thrown into the NFL just yet—looking at Jalen Mayfield.
