The Atlanta Falcons have been ineffective in pressuring opposing quarterbacks, finishing near the bottom in NFL sacks for nearly a decade. With Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, requesting a trade, Atlanta may find an opportunity to improve. Analyst James Palmer highlighted the Falcons' past attempts to trade for defensive help and their current need for a defensive lineman like Garrett. He speculated that trading Kirk Cousins could create the necessary financial maneuverability for such a move, potentially transforming the team’s defense substantially.
Atlanta has struggled to generate quarterback pressure for years, making a bold move necessary to improve. Myles Garrett’s trade request opens potential opportunities.
Analyst James Palmer pointed out that the Falcons could be interested in Garrett because of their need for pass-rushing strength, especially with a rookie QB.
Past efforts to improve the defensive line, including attempts to trade last year, indicate Atlanta's consistent desire to bolster their pass-rushing capabilities.
If the Falcons can navigate a potential Kirk Cousins trade, it may create space for acquiring Garrett, significantly reinforcing Atlanta's defense.
