Position Outlook: Where Will the Falcons Find Their No. 2 Cornerback?

admin@bleav.com (Bleav) — Wed, 6 Mar 2024 11:30:00 +0000

Will McFadden takes a close look at Atlanta's cornerback room. A.J. Terrell enters the final year of his rookie contract and is firmly established as the team's top corner. But the Falcons are once again in the market for a long-term option at the No. 2 spot. This year's draft offers several enticing options, but Atlanta could also make a play in free agency to land a starter. In-house, the Falcons have some complementary young pieces who offer some promise.
