This weeks big question: Why didn't the Falcons make a trade?

"Availability is the most crucial and often overlooked factor of a trade market. Only three outside linebackers/edge rushers were traded this year, despite rampant rumors."

"Teams might call, but names like Myles Garrett and Jeffery Simmons were never real options. The Falcons needed players that could significantly impact their team's performance."

"Cost applies to multiple variables: the cost of the trade, financial cost, and future loss. This makes trading an unbalanced risk with uncertain outcomes."

"The Falcons have already lost a third, fifth, and sixth-round pick. Each trade has risks, and the balance often shifts unfavorably for the trading team."
