Predicting the Falcons’ starting lineups for Week 1 of 2024 season
The NFL offseason is long but most of the heavy lifting gets done during the first two months of the new league year, starting with free agency and ending with the draft. The Atlanta Falcons are in the market for a new quarterback, and a few other positions on the roster could use an upgrade.
Free agency begins on March 13 and the 2024 NFL draft kicks off on April 25. The Falcons have roughly $40 million in salary cap space after releasing tight end Jonnu Smith and they currently hold the No. 8 pick in the draft. This means there should be plenty of new faces in Atlanta by the time Week 1 rolls around.
