"Atlanta's going to head into free agency with a little pocket money to work with and several pressing needs. They'll also want to acquire talent that Kevin Stefanski believes he can win with. While most of those faces will be fairly new, in all likelihood, a couple of players who have crossed paths with Stefanski and that he's both comfortable and familiar with will end up in Atlanta."
"Flacco's still-strong arm and willingness to sling it would make him a fun fit for a Falcons offense with Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and (hopefully) Kyle Pitts, and the fact that he's heading into his age-41 season and has handled both starting and backup duties in recent years means he'd be a solid bridge to when Michael Penix Jr. is ready and solid insurance should Penix falter or not return as quickly as anticipated."
Atlanta will enter free agency with limited cap flexibility and several pressing roster needs, prioritizing players Kevin Stefanski believes can win. A few former Stefanski players are realistic targets, with emphasis on offense and special teams, where coordinator Bubba Ventrone is rumored to follow Stefanski from Cleveland. Joe Flacco represents a veteran bridge quarterback option, offering a strong arm, extensive experience as both starter and backup, and short-term insurance while Michael Penix Jr. develops. Running back Ford presents an easy connection due to full-career alignment with Stefanski, pass-protection ability, and proven productivity when given opportunities.
