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.

There was little question this would get done, but it’s always nice to have your rookies signed with a minimum of fuss. That’s...

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...

Falcons Sign Three Draft Picks Including Third-Round S Xavier Watts

The Atlanta Falcons announced they signed third-round S Xavier Watts, fourth-round DB Billy Bowman Jr., and seventh-round OT Jack Nelson to their four-year rookie contracts on Friday.  This leaves Atlanta with just two remaining picks from the 2025 NFL Draft to sign.  Watts, 23, was a consensus All-American in 2024.

Morgan Tencza-Imagn Images

The former Bill and Jaguar is a buy-low candidate, but one that comes with question marks.

A little over a year after inking a 3-year $39M ($24M guaranteed) contract, the Jacksonville Jaguars have moved on from Gabe Davis.

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....

Which undrafted free agents are most likely to make the Falcons roster?

Here are five who seem likely to stand out this summer.

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...
