The team is now ready to jump into their offseason program in earnest with zero rookie contract drama.
That was quick and tidy. After signing Jalon Walker last week, the Atlanta Falcons now have their five man rookie class under contract after getting James Pearce’s signature on his deal.

Our staff roundtable weighs in on expectations for Walker in year one, including the all-important sack prediction.
Jalon Walker is a player the Atlanta Falcons believe in, and they’re hardly alone. Fans are hopeful, analysts are intrigued, and teammates think he’s going to be a star. In that constellation of opinion, of course, are questions about his true upside as a pass rusher and where he’ll play in the NFL.
We’re thinking about all of that, but mostly...

This team’s fortunes depend a great deal on the second-year quarterback.
Welcome to Friday Falconry, where we’re taking advantage of the quiet part of the league calendar to open the floodgates to some big picture discussions. Today, perhaps the most vital player on the roster is up for consideration.

The announcement came earlier today.
Last off-season, the Jaguars signed then free-agent WR Gabe Davis to a three-year, $39 million contract. Davis played 10 games with the Jaguars, catching 20 passes for 239 yards....

Here are five who seem likely to stand out this summer.
The Atlanta Falcons brought in 11 undrafted free agents, and given both the team’s persistent need for quality young depth and Terry Fontenot’s remarks about the depth of this draft class, we ought to pay attention to those names.
Realistically, the Falcons will only have a small number of open roster spots to vie for, which means most of this UDFA class is more likely to hit the practice squad...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The hard place is the uninspiring quarterback room they've assembled for the 2025 season, and the rock is the excruciating process of negotiating with Aaron Rodgers.
