On April 8th, the Atlanta Falcons' free agency moves, this offseason have left a lot of folks scratching their heads, especially after they signed wide, receiver Jahan Dotson from the Eagles. That deal got slammed hard, with pro football focus calling it the team's worst move so far. NFL executives around the league told the athletic they straight up don't get what Atlanta's strategy is. The Falcons' overall hall feels underwhelming, and they're missing out on bigger fish still on the market. Take Debel Samuel, the former 49ers all pro, who's over 30, but still balling with 72 catches, 727 yards, and five touchdowns last year. His size, strength, and yards after catch skills could transform Atlanta's passing game. Then there's Jahwan Jennings, two years younger, coming off a breakout with 55 catches, 643 yards, and nine scores. At 6 foot 3 and 212 pounds, he's a tackle-breaking beast the Niners let walk. Other underrated vets like Sterling Shepard, with over 4,000 yards and 23 touchdowns in his career,

or Brandon Cook's, nearing 10. Thousand yards and 60 touchdowns lifetime could mentor Drake Lyndon without breaking the bank. Falcons might want to rethink before camp hits. That's your update from NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
