1. T.J. Edwards, LB, Philadelphia Eagles

This is one of the most intriguing options out on the open market for the Atlanta Falcons. T.J. Edwards has had four solid seasons in the league, but none stack up to what he has done this season.

If you watch the Eagles’ defense, you will see linebacker #57 flying around like his hair is on fire. He would add some solid size at six-foot-one, 240 pounds to the Falcons’ linebacker position. And proven production as he racked up 130 tackles this past year.

He will demand a lot of money since the linebacker position has been getting paid handsomely over the past few years. He might land a deal that sits close to what Foye Oluokun got last year. If the Falcons had a hard time watching Foye walk last year, they can heal the wound with Edwards.
