"The restructure gives Atlanta about $9 million more to work with. That in turns makes Terrell's contract unpalatable to move on from until 2028, but the Falcons are likely banking on him being part of the team beyond that point anyways."
"Terrell is coming off a season where he surrendered one more touchdown than the year before (3 total), but deflected more passes, lowered his yardage allowed, completion percentage allowed, yards after the catch allowed, and missed tackle percentage despite being targeted a bit more frequently than he was in 2025."
"The Falcons now have a little north of $22 million in cap space, per Over the Cap, which puts them 18th in the NFL in that particular metric. That won't all be used to forget new deals with existing players-though some of it might be-and that suggests that positions like inside linebacker, cornerback, and running back that the Falcons haven't touched yet might be in for some free agent dollars."
The Atlanta Falcons restructured A.J. Terrell's contract, creating approximately $9 million in additional cap space. This move follows a similar restructure of Jake Matthews' deal and brings the team's total available cap space to just over $22 million, ranking 18th in the NFL. Terrell improved in several statistical categories last season, including pass deflections, yards allowed, and completion percentage allowed, though he struggled with penalties (12 total) and failed to record any interceptions for the third time in four years. The Falcons' increased cap flexibility suggests potential free agent signings at inside linebacker, cornerback, and running back positions.
