🚨 🚨 🚨
The Raiders are trading star edge Maxx Crosby to the Ravens for pick No. 14 and additional compensation, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social. A blockbuster.
A new home for Crosby and a true rebuild for Las Vegas.
The Cardinals have released veteran DT Dalvin Tomlinson, who had a cap number of $16.2M.
It's mock time.
@falcoholickevin.bsky.social delivers his latest after the Combine, with a fresh set of faces for the Falcons

Guess we'll find out
NEWS: The Raiders are set to release veteran QB Geno Smith, sources say.
Las Vegas acquired Smith in an offseason trade with Seattle last year. Now, the 35-year-old finds himself on the open market after just one year as a Raider.
Still amazing how often the Google AI thing that now pops up as The Most Definitive Answer to millions of questions is based on literally just one Reddit commenter
The Falcons won't tender Sam Roberts despite his capable play in 2025, with @treshon.io writing that the team likely figures they can either bring him back at a lesser price point or replace him affordably

Before a player is an NFL draft pick, he is the subject of a scouting report.
These, and the scouts that build and evolve them, are the DNA of a roster.
I spent the combine talking to scouts about how they write the reports that shape their teams - and the draft: www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...
this has been knocking around my head for a while, but for real: Sports get people prepared for the bullshit of politics like few other things can channel-6.ghost.io/everything-y...
D-Led was on the #Packers beat for a time when I covered them back in the day before he moved onto Atlanta. A terrific reporter and a warm, funny and terrific guy who was always a joy to be around.
I’ve enjoyed having him on my Sirius show many times the past several years.
He’s earned retirement
D-Led was one of the handful of reporters you could count on to try to hold the Falcons accountable and took a lot of grief for it. He was always gracious about it and always gracious with us, I'm gonna miss him
Some things are etched in the weave of the cosmos
Per @rapsheet.bsky.social, the Falcons will cut Darnell Mooney soon after an injury-marred, ineffective 2025 season
Atlanta now has Drake London, Casey Washington, and a dream at WR. They'll likely hit the position hard in March and April

Kevin Stefanski has had success with numerous different quarterbacks and was asked about developing young players at the position during the NFL Combine. His answer will be informative for Falcons fans. atlfal.co.nz/46ErF1N
You think those guys are busy?
Oh well in that case
What athletes expression will stay with you the rest of your life?
Over the past quarter century, two Falcons returners stand out for their excellence and longevity.
Are you taking Allen Rossum or Eric Weems?

Trading for Murray, with Atlanta's limited resources, seemed like a bad idea. Signing Murray for nothing seems like a great idea, but the Falcons probably won't be near the front of the line for that
Kyler Murray's time in Arizona will soon be coming to an end.
Wow
One of my favorite yearly traditions I put together is up. I wrote about ten players the Falcons should pursue to address five of their biggest positional needs
Lowe's worth looking at for the Falcons
Every year, @allenstrk.bsky.social pulls together a free agency wishlist for the Falcons, and it's an especially pivotal list this year with a new regime and plenty of needs.
Check out who Allen is hoping the Falcons will target at a handful of key positions
