The Falcons don’t believe they are in salary cap hell, but they certainly won’t be landing any of the top-tier players in free agency.

2019 Stats: 62 tackles (48 solo), 2 INTs, 8 passes defended

Analysis: Ross Cockrel is solid in coverage and the Panthers look to be in tanking mode as the team moves on from head coach Ron Rivera. He can step into the slot for Atlanta and continue to be quietly efficient. He isn’t a great tackler, but recorded two interceptions and defended eight passes for Carolina in 2019. Cockrel would provide good depth and is someone that can fill in as a starter if needed.
