"In the midst of an eighth straight losing season, which ties the 1983-1990 Falcons for the longest losing streak in franchise history; Tied with the Carolina Panthers for the second-longest playoff drought in the league at eight years, behind the 15 year New York Jets drought; Have the 7th-worst winning percentage in the NFL over that span, and are tied with the Commanders for the 25th-worst win total in that span (51);"
"Only five selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, with a first round pick headed to the Rams that's tracking to be in the top 10 and a fifth round pick similarly MIA No slam dunk Week 1 starter at quarterback, given that they have a QB they need to cut for cap purposes and performance reasons (Kirk Cousins) and a would-be franchise quarterback recovering from his third career ACL tear (Michael Penix Jr.);"
"A total of a cool $2.1 million in projected 2026 cap space at this moment, before they make inevitable moves to free some up; A long list of 2026 free agents that includes legitimate starters and young contributors like Tyler Allgeier, Kyle Pitts, Kaden Elliss, Bradley Pinion, and Dee Alford along with useful players like Arnold Ebiketie and Ronnie Harrison;"
The Falcons have eight straight losing seasons, tying the franchise record, and share an eight-year playoff drought with the Carolina Panthers. The team posts one of the NFL's worst winning percentages across that span and will register eight or fewer wins for the 11th time in 13 seasons. Entering 2026, the Falcons hold only five draft selections, have about $2.1 million in projected cap space, and no clear Week 1 quarterback option. Numerous impending free agents include starters and young contributors. Organizational and roster changes appear likely given sustained poor performance and personnel uncertainty.
