No Splashes in Free Agency: Atlanta Falcons Offseason Plans with Guest Mike Rothstein

Aaron is joined by ESPN's Mike Rothstein to discuss the Atlanta Falcons offseason plans and strategies to bring in talent and retain key free agents.

First, they discuss the lack of revelations from general manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith's first Scouting Combine press conferences. Mike shares his thoughts on the Falcons being low-key in free agency before discussing which moves the team could make to free up cap space. He discusses if linebacker Deion Jones is potentially a trade asset the Falcons could move, how Cordarrelle Patterson's future impacts that of Mike Davis, and which of the team's top four free agents in Patterson, Younghoe Koo, Russell Gage, and Foye Oluokun he believes are most likely to return. He discusses how the possible trade of wide receiver Calvin Ridley could have an impact on how proactive the Falcons are to start the league year and if signing "prove-it" deals will be a strong selling point to attract veterans to Atlanta.
