Falcons earn mixed grades for trade deadline deals

The #Falcons received mixed grades for their three trades ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.

The 2022 NFL trade deadline was the busiest in league history and the Atlanta Falcons were a major reason why. Of the NFL-record 10 trades executed on Tuesday, three of them involved the Falcons.

The most notable of Atlanta’s three deadline deals was suspended wide receiver Calvin Ridley being moved to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a fifth-round pick and a conditional fourth-rounder.

The Falcons also sent safety Dean Marlowe to the Bills in exchange for a seventh-round pick, and acquired cornerback Rashad Fenton from the Chiefs for a conditional seventh-rounder.

The reactions around the league have been all over the place. Let’s check out what grades the Falcons received for each trade in NFL.com’s new feature.
