Everything is on the table for the Atlanta Falcons this off-season when it comes to potential trades, signings, or draft picks. The Falcons are in a position to chase any of this year’s top players and should do their due diligence.

Over the past two years it has been Atlanta looking to offload players on bad contracts moving on from Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Deion Jones, and Calvin Ridley in the last two seasons.  All four of those trades appear to be clear wins for the Falcons with Jones and Ryan at the end of their careers and Ridley and Jones yet to make an impact.

Ridley will likely have great success with Trevor Lawrence next season but on the final year of his deal the Falcons weren’t in a position to pay a player they couldn’t rely on. This off-season there are many trade targets for Atlanta, however, there are three that stand out if the Falcons are going to build around Desmond Ridder as they should.
