Falcons restructure Jessie Bates' contract, create more cap space
Briefly

The Atlanta Falcons successfully navigated salary cap challenges by converting Jessie Bates’ salary into a signing bonus, freeing up $7.5 million in cap space for the season.
General manager Terry Fontenot executed a strategic financial maneuver that allowed the Falcons to become cap compliant ahead of their season opener against the Steelers.
Jessie Bates’ conversion was a crucial step in creating financial flexibility for the Falcons, especially as they approach their first game of the season with potential roster moves on the horizon.
With a solid performance last season and new additions like Justin Simmons, the Falcons’ defense appears poised for improvement as they head into the 2024 NFL season.
