6 veteran free agents the Atlanta Falcons should call up this summer

Atlanta’s depth at receiver is the best since Julio Jones left the franchise. Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Rondale Moore make a solid trio. One that is greatly enhanced by knowing Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson’s respective abilities as receivers as well.

Bringing in a veteran is a luxury move that Atlanta doesn’t have to make. However, the idea of ​​adding a former Saint to haunt rival Atlanta is way too fun to ignore. Bring in Thomas and give the veteran a chance to compete for the 3rd or 4th receiver role. This is another low-risk move with potentially high payoffs.

Again, can Atlanta really do anything but improve at the position? Frank Clark is a lot like Justin Houston, both accomplished passers on the wrong side of their careers. Clark hasn’t been a great passer, but has always been a capable contributor.

Despite a lousy 2023, the veteran is just one year away from producing 5.0 sacks with the Chiefs. Give Clark a non-guaranteed deal and allow the veteran to come in and compete with Ebiketie, Trice and Carter. What do you have to lose by making such a decision? Atlanta’s lack of urgency at the position continues to be alarming.
