6/01/25	Kirk Cousins landing spots: Steelers, Browns remain Falcons QB's best fits. The Atlanta Falcons are facing a unique conundrum of their own making at the quarterback position. Last offseason, the team signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal to serve as their starting quarterback. Cousins ended up having a down season by his standards in his first year in Atlanta. Now, the Falcons are planning to move forward with Penix as their starter while also keeping Cousins in the fold.

NFL insiders spill secrets amid rumours. “I don't think it's a situation where [the Falcons] are aggressively shopping [Pitts],” ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said while appearing on SportsCenter Saturday.

5/31/25	Jessie Bates III Eager for Fresh Start, Working with New Falcons DC Jeff Ulbrich. Jessie Bates III is the unquestioned defensive leader of the Atlanta Falcons. Bates spoke effusively about what he sees so far in Jeff Ulbrich. "I love the fact that he's been in our chairs before,” Bates said at OTAs this week.

5/30/25	Why Trading Kyle Pitts Wouldn't Make Sense for Falcons. The Atlanta Falcons and tight end Kyle Pitts have been no stranger to offseason questions over the past several years. FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz reported Friday morning that "multiple teams have reached out to the Falcons" about the availability of Pitts, who's entering the final year of his rookie contract. Schultz added no deals are imminent and Atlanta "would prefer to keep him." Atlanta, which went 8-9 last season and has won seven or eight games in six of its past seven playoff-less seasons, intends on being competitive this fall.

5/30/25	Giants-Falcons trade pitch sends struggling former top-5 pick to New York to pair with Russell Wilson, Malik Nabers. The Atlanta Falcons haven't exactly silenced the rumors swirling around tight end Kyle Pitts — and now more signs are pointing toward a potential change of scenery for the former top-five pick. While Schultz noted that nothing is imminent, he added that “Atlanta would prefer to keep him — but I'm told it would take at least a Day 2 pick to even spark serious talks.” Pitts still owns the distinction of being the highest-drafted tight end in NFL history — selected fourth overall in 2021 — but he's struggled to live up to that billing.

5/29/25	Falcons ex-receiver retiring from NFL to pursue a new sport. The Atlanta Falcons were the team that gave Jared Bernhardt his shot. After a legendary lacrosse career at the University of Maryland, Bernhardt managed to make the Falcons' roster as an undrafted player in 2022. Now, three years later, Bernhardt is leaving the gridiron. According to ESPN's Field Yates, Bernhardt is looking to move to the Premier Lacrosse League.

5/29/25	Falcons See Shades of Jessie Bates in Rookie DB Xavier Watts. When the Atlanta Falcons signed veteran safety Justin Simmons before the 2024 season, it gave All-Pro safety Jessie Bates III the chance to pair with the player he idolized when he entered the NFL in 2018. Less than one year later, Bates is on the other end. The Falcons selected Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts in the third round of April's draft. Watts said he models his game after Bates, citing their similarities in size, ball skills, playmaking aptitude and overall play style. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-falcon...
5/28/25	Falcons' Raheem Morris' strong bond with Dolphins $72 million trade bait could prompt reunion. The Atlanta Falcons are mostly set on the offensive side of the ball heading into the upcoming season, especially with all the young talent the team has assembled. To address one of their biggest weaknesses from last season, Atlanta drafted two defensive linemen in the first round of the NFL Draft. “Raheem Morris says he was tired of getting grilled for the lack of a pass rush for the Falcons, and they were intentional about fixing that this offseason,” Falcons staff writer Will McFadden wrote. "That's got to change, and the only way to change that is to change that." In addition to bolstering the defensive line, the Falcons could be looking to add another experienced cornerback to pair with AJ Terrell. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/atlanta-falcon...
5/28/25	Can Atlanta Falcons Stop the Run in 2025?. Last year, the Atlanta Falcons could not stop a nosebleed. The unit surrendered 200 rushing first downs, tied for 10th in the NFL. Although teams only scored 11 rushing touchdowns against the Falcons, short-yardage situations were nearly an automatic first down. The Commanders ran for 216 yards, with quarterback Jayden Daniels running free downfield, draining 41:32 minutes off the clock (including overtime).

5/28/25	Falcons' Kaden Elliss Finally Gaining Some Respect Around NFL. Atlanta Falcons linebacker Kaden Elliss remains one of the most overlooked linebackers in the NFL. That's a title Elliss has had trouble shaking. But at least on a recent list from Pro Football Focus' Mason Cameron, Elliss received a little bit more respect. On Tuesday, Cameron ranked Elliss the No. 17-best linebacker in the NFL entering the 2025 season. "Elliss isn't renowned among linebackers, but he has quietly been one of the most efficient run defenders and blitzers in the NFL," wrote Cameron . "Since arriving in Atlanta in 2023, Elliss has produced the fifth-highest PFF WAR rating at the linebacker position, with 2024 being his best mark (0.23) — above players such as Fred Warner and Jack Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/kaden-elliss-pff-li...
5/27/25	Falcons Provide Return Timeline for OLB Bralen Trice. The Atlanta Falcons have high expectations for first-round defenders Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. Those expectations are so high, in fact, that it's easy to forget the Falcons could potentially receive another defensive boost from a young player returning from injury. 2024 third-rounder Bralen Trice, who didn't play at all last season, is on his way back from an ACL injury. Before suffering the ailment in the 2024 preseason opener versus the Miami Dolphins, Trice was working with the first and second-team Atlanta defense last summer.

5/27/25	Michael Penix Jr.'s chemistry with Drake London carried over to offseason. Marc Raimondi's first year covering the Falcons was 2024, but it wasn't his first year at ESPN. Raimondi also worked for the New York Post and Newsday, beginning in 2009, covering high school and college sports, plus the NFL, NFL, MLB and NHL. There were three seconds left in the first half of the Atlanta Falcons' Week 18 game against the Carolina Panthers. Penix saw Drake London in single coverage against Panthers rookie cornerback Shemar Bartholomew and just put the ball in London's vicinity, playing the odds that his best receiver would haul it in.
