According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, the league is increasing the salary cap to $255.4 million, which is an increase of just over $30 million from the year before.

This gives the Atlanta Falcons just over $41 million in cap room, According he Los Angeles Rams are adding to their coaching staff with a familiar face to the Atlanta Falcons.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams are hiring former Falcons offensive coordinator Dave Ragone as their quarterbacks coach.

Hiring Ragone basically confirms a swap between him and new Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, who served as the Rams’ quarterback coach in 2023.

Former Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis is blowing out candles and hanging up his cleats.

Davis, who turns 31 today, announced his retirement on social media after eight NFL seasons.

Davis played 16 games for the Falcons in 2021, rushing for 473 yards and three touchdowns.

He also played for the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens.

The Atlanta Falcons haven’t won an NFC South title since 2016, but according to Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd, that will change in 2024.

“I think they get a veteran [quarterback] in there for a couple of years, and Atlanta wins kind of a weak division.”

Falcons fans hope Cowherd is right, because that means Atlanta will return to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
