Atlanta Falcons News

Before Walker began disrupting offensive lines in the NFL, he played four years at Georgia Tech, where he finished with 49 games played, 69 tackles, 41 assists, 13 sacks, one PBU, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

There have been shining achievements - especially as the Clemson football team has mounted three consecutive 10-win seasons - but the way former Tigers and NFL players from another era see it, something has been missing since the 1980s.

We've already seen which needs Atlanta sought to address with its front-line free agency signings: defensive line and offensive guard.

It's almost never constructive when the owner of a pro sports team imposes his insight on those entrusted to make such decisions.

In an effort to make Jacquizz Rodgers feel like a giant, Dimitroff and Co. brought in the shortest free agent available.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced the signing of former Raiders defensive tackle Vance Walker to a free agent contract on Friday.

In typical fashion it seems as though Thomas Dimitroff and the Front Office are content with the "re-calibration of the roster" at this point In my honest opinion I think the Falcons , with just over $9 million in cap room , are in fact done with free agent signings at least for the month of March.

Thomas Dimitroff has indicated that more time will be spent in the 3-4 base, and recent free agent defensive acquisitions point to the same.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. went exactly in the direction I expect the Atlanta Falcons to go in the first round of this year's NFL draft: offensive tackle.

Thomas DeCoud is gone, as we noted in our last post, with the Falcons moving on due to a decent-sized cap hit and a spectacularly unproductive 2013 season.

Would you still root for the Falcons if you knew with certainty that they would never win a Super Bowl? I'm optimistic by nature, so it's hard for me to even consider the possibility that, in my lifetime, the Falcons could never win a Super Bowl .

The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to add a defensive lineman to cope with the loss of Tyson Jackson in free agency.

When a team goes 4-12, there are key stats that they are near the bottom of the league in.

Day one of NFL free agency came and went, and it was eventful, to say the least.

"It's an absolute no-brainer for the Falcons to select Khalil Mack at No. 6 if he's there."

If you’re a Panthers fan, Tuesday was a day where seemingly everyone in the NFC South got better and Carolina stayed the same.

Former LSU defensive end Tyson Jackson has found a new home with the Atlanta Falcons, who gave him a five-year, $25 million contract Wednesday.

The 2014 NFL free agency class was extremely deep, but the legal tampering period caused a frenzy of action as the contracts were finally allowed to be signed Tuesday afternoon.
