Oh no no no

[LinvilleGorge]

LOL!

[ncfan]

I mean they just gave a mega deal to Julio

Just resigned their LT and Grady Jarrett 

Gave Matty Ice a huge deal and Devonte Freeman is one of the highest Paid RBs in the league

So no surprise

26% of their 202 salary cap is in julio and ryan

Saints in the bottom left too

Both the Aints and Cons are in the same box which is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen

Not really, they’ve been in cap hell for years and that’s why they had so many straight 7-9 type seasons despite having Brees. Only thing that got them out of it was an outstanding (damn near perfect actually) draft in 2017.

Difference between the two is that recently, the Aints have balanced their spending, while the Falcons cap hit next year will have 70 million in three offensive players (Julio, Matt, and Jake Matthews).

 

The Falcons manage their cap space like a fan base might, instead of as a smart GM might.

Notice the pats.

they could bounce back quick. if that defense was even middle of the road they'd be a great team

Yeah, I'm not sure if dead center is a good think but it freaks me out anyhow.

I dunno.

They don't have an abundance of draft picks. They will probably be drafting top 3, especially if Ryan is hurt.

They have no cap space, so they'll have to get creative on that front. 

They're locked in to Ryan and Julio for at least three more years, so you'd think the next coach is going to come from an offensive background. 

The next GM/FO person is going to have to deal with that hideous cap situation and two franchise players on the wrong side of 30 with horrible contracts. 

Honestly, if they end up with the first overall, it might make sense to see if you can move Ryan. See if a team like the bears can send a 7th and just take him off your hands. 

Julio could be moved but not to many teams, and again they're not going to get anything for him. Someone like the Colts could absorb that hit easily.
