4 Atlanta Falcons the team should consider a reunion with this summer

This has been a suggested reunion for the Atlanta Falcons all offseason and continues to make sense. Whether or not Calais wants to return for another season and whether or not it’s in Atlanta are questions that need answers.

Bringing Calais back is even more important when you consider the fact that the team lost Bud Dupree and replaced his production with a rookie. Yes, there have been additions in the defensive trenches, but no moves suggest the Falcons pass rush is going to take a leap forward.

Campbell, even at this point in his career, is able to consistently pressure the quarterback and push the offense off schedule. Atlanta’s passing issues were solved by adding Trice and depth around David Onyemata and Grady Jarrett. Lorenzo Carter isn’t going to suddenly become a competent passer and the expectations for Trice as a rookie are a bit unfair.

This defense needs another passer that the team can rely on during key drives and that could be Calais Campbell. The veteran’s return would not be surprising; however, he might want to spend his final seasons with a team with a chance to win a ring.
