3 players the Falcons should consider trading for

With limited cap space, the Atlanta Falcons were forced to move on from six of last season’s starters, including their leading tackler, De’Vondre Campbell, and 2019 sack leader, Vic Beasley.

2019 Stats: 36 catches, 311 yards, 4 TDs

Brate has become a popular name on the trade market due to the Buccaneers trading for Rob Gronkowski and picking up the fifth-year option on O.J. Howard. Still a very effective receiving option at 28 years old, Brate would give Atlanta two quality tight ends. Hayden Hurst was acquired for a second-round pick, but the former Raven has yet to prove himself as a starting-caliber tight end.

With 27 career touchdowns, Brate would give the team another viable red-zone option with Austin Hooper now in Cleveland. The obstacle here would be Brate’s contract, which has a $4.2 million base salary this season and has four years left on his deal. The Bucs restructured his contract back in March to sign Tom Brady, but that was before the team traded for Gronkowski. If he’s available for a mid-round pick, Brate would be worth bringing to Atlanta.
