Falcons offseason for me.
1. Fill all holes in FA
2. Take risky signings
3. Use the draft for BPA
4. Look for great trades

FA signings:
FA Budget: 48 million

Blockbuster signings: None
Quality signings: Dre'Mont Jones or Dalvin Tomlinson, LaVonta David, Yannick Ngakoue, Melvin Ingram, Patrick Peterson, another starting LB, a NT, another starting CB
I want to give two year deals to older vets for an overpay to help the kids like Grant, Anderson, and Terrell. Hayward was a tremendous signing till he got hurt this year.
Draft is BPA. That's different for everyone.
After the draft, look to sign a QB or trade for one. I don't mind Ridder being the only QB on the roster till the draft.
QB guys I am interested in: Jacoby Brissett, Trey Lance, Jordan Love, and Tyler Hundley. I really don't want to spend more than 10 million on a QB combined so that limits our options to the garbage bin or trades. Jordan Love is most intriguing. I would definitely reach out to Green Bay about him. 79 PFF grade is nice and he looks good on tape. Unlikely Brissett will sign for less than 15 million
