Terry Fontenot spoke at the start of the NFL Combine allowing many Atlanta Falcons questions to be answered for the first time this off-season. With free agency still eleven days away and the draft more than a month off, we are still a long way from having concrete answers as to how Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot will opt to build out the roster.

It is clear the Falcons are shifting their perspective completely on the off-season with the ability to spend while still avoiding the mistakes of the previous front office. Fontenot noted that the team would be spending in free agency without making reckless decisions.

Atlanta will still look for bargain deals and attempt not to add the five best players this off-season but to provide Arthur Smith with the most complete group possible to build out the final roster and practice squad heading into the 2023 season.

With this in mind, let’s look at the highlights from Terry’s presser and what Atlanta fans should expect from the Falcons this off-season.
