3 Best Calvin Ridley replacements for the 2022 Atlanta Falcons
By Nick Halden
Despite the obvious issues at the position the Atlanta Falcons still haven’t added a single receiver this off-season. It has been shocking considering the Falcons already had terrible depth at the position before losing Russell Gage to a division rival.
Not only is Gage now gone to Tampa Bay the Falcons lost Tajae Sharpe to free agency and lost Calvin Ridley for a year to suspension. Julio Jones has been gone for a year after his trade to the Titans and the Falcons are left with who at wide receiver?
Frank Darby was last year’s draft selection remains on the roster but was unable to crack the rotation in what was arguably the worst receiving group in the league. Olamide Zaccheaus, Austin Trammell, and Chad Hansen complete the Atlanta Falcons depth chart.
If you don’t recognize any of the names on the Atlanta Falcons receiving depth chart there is a reason
Atlanta’s receivers combined have a career of 1,139-combined receiving yards. That isn’t combined for last season that is all four receivers’ career totals combined. Olamide himself accounts for 795-career receiving yards speaking to the complete lack of answers Atlanta has right now at the position. With this in mind, who could Atlanta add to help fix the obvious issues at the position?
