After announcing their decision two weeks ago, the Falcons finally introduced their next head coach, Raheem Morris, during a press conference on Monday afternoon. Once Morris finishes assembling his coaching staff he will likely turn his attention to free agency.
Atlanta has 21 players set to hit free agency this offseason, but unlike in recent years, the team has enough cap space to retain some key players. So which free agents will the Falcons look to keep?
Pro Football Focus named one player that each team cannot afford to lose in 2024. PFF listed veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell as the free agent the Falcons need most.
The team has struggled to find adequate help for defensive lineman Grady Jarrett for much of his time in Atlanta. However, before Jarrett got hurt in 2023, the Falcons’ defensive line was playing a lot better.
Campbell accounted for 42 total pressures and seven sacks last season. Even at 37 years old, the veteran defensive lineman still appears to have gas left in the tank.
