Follow every signing and trade with The Athletic’s live coverage of 2025 NFL free agency The Falcons aren’t going to make the same splash they did last year in free agency when they signed quarterback Kirk Cousins to the largest total-value free-agency deal in league history.

The Atlanta Falcons have made two major moves just in time for the start of the free agency "legal tampering" period. On Sunday evening, the team gave left tackle Jake Matthews a two-year, $45 million extension. Then on Monday morning, the team released veteran defensive lineman Grady Jarrett after 10 NFL seasons.

News from previous days is underneath the tables. 5:00 p.m. Atlanta announced they had re-signed reserve offensive tackle Storm Norton. Norton has filled in admirably for Kaleb McGary at right tackle when he's been called upon.

Here we'll try to look at the Atlanta Falcons' 5-round post-combine 2025 NFL mock draft, per the PFF simulator.

The Atlanta Falcons haven't been major players through the first wave of NFL free agency, but that was expected due to the team's financial limitations. Kirk Cousins' contract has forced the Falcons to target affordable free agents and focus on re-signing their own players.
