The Atlanta Falcons have been more competitive than expected in the two years since Arthur Smith was hired as head coach, but the team has yet to finish with a winning record. That may change in 2023, though, as Smith and general manager Terry Fontenot finally have the resources to end Atlanta’s five-year playoff drought.
After spending years in salary cap hell due to bloated veteran contracts, the Falcons will go into the new league year with the second-most cap space in the NFL. Atlanta has roughly $67 million to spend in free agency, along with another top-10 draft pick.
