    I'm not going to dump on him but this is a very on-brand falcons hire who can seemingly only pick people with ties/retreads to this terrible organization

    I can't decide if this franchise is more cursed than inept, but :laugh: at that 2016 staff. The three guys you mentioned and now Quinn is hilariously back in the NFC championship. But of course the guys we have from that staff are Ulbrich and the guy with a .382 winning percentage over 76 games as head coach.

    I dont normally but I’ve been going into the office later in the mornings because of the baby, so I catch a few minutes of Buck. I truly hate him so much. There’s never been a more arrogant yet let informed man. He’s the pretentious illiterate.

    The best part about Buck’s little Ulbrich story is that it unintentionally makes Kirby looked like a bitch because of how bad of a storyteller Buck is. Anyway

    Atlanta Falcons
    Big changes are in store this offseason for an organization that was confident, nay, cocky about its playoff aspirations in 2024. And I’m not just talking about QB Kirk Cousins. The Falcons are one of six teams in the red for 2025. Trading Cousins would get the team back in the black but that won’t be easy. While Cousins’ $27.5 million guaranteed 2025 salary is reasonable for a solid starting quarterback, the total for a new team would actually be $37.5 million guaranteed since Cousins has a $10 million roster bonus in 2026 that becomes guaranteed this March. That’s a lot to take on for a 36-year-old coming off the worst stretch of his career.
    Jarrett, McGary, Matthews and Onyemata all played reasonably well but all four are going to either hit 30 or be on the other side of that milestone in 2025. I’d classify the offensive players as safer than the defensive players, as the Falcons have struggled to generate a reliable pass rush this year. Whether it’s via cut, restructure or pay cut, the Falcons will need to generate some cap relief from this quartet.

    There aren’t a lot of cap savings from cutting Koo but he’s in the midst of the worst year of his career since his rookie year with nine field goal misses. It’s easier to get worse at kicker than it is better most of the time, but at minimum, the Falcons will bring in competition for Koo in 2025.

    I read the most likely scenario is Onyemata is gone and Grady will be restructured.

    Would make sense. He's only 32 and is still playing extremely well. Could extend him with a decent bonus that lowers his overall cap hit.

    I think some of the cap stuff, especially wrt to Cousins, is overstated. We will be fine after this year once we trade him or cut him after next season.
