"The team should have about $10 million in cap space left to work with after signing their rookie class, so they can keep a rainy day fund while signing a couple of affordable veterans to fill in key positions of need that remain after the 2026 NFL Draft."
"Last year, the Falcons lost Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton before the season began, leaving Elijah Wilkinson to start the entire season. Wilkinson did about as well as you could expect a third-string tackle to do and was at least durable, but this team doesn't have a seasoned option like him around in 2026."
"Is it likely that the Falcons will lose both Taylor and Norton? Not for the full season the way they did with McGary and Norton a year ago. Is it possible? Yes, as is injury for an aging Jake Matthews, and it would be nice if the Falcons had options they felt confident in if that comes to pass."
The Atlanta Falcons are preparing for the 2026 season with a focus on filling roster gaps. With approximately $10 million in cap space, the team aims to sign affordable veterans to strengthen key positions. After losing players like Kaleb McGary and Storm Norton, the Falcons currently have unproven options and injury concerns on the offensive line. To improve their chances for a playoff run, the team should consider experienced players to ensure depth and reliability in case of injuries.
