Will update this frequently as the year goes on. This will change a lot so don't comfortable with the current appearance. Let me know of any news that happens as I won't be able to catch all of it.
Also, if any of you want to write reactions or explanations to hires/FA pick ups, losses. Post them and I will post on the main header.Also, any rumors you come across pass them on to me. Lastly, your boy is back!

OC-Jackson, Clements, or Billick
DC-Spags or Tucker
Any one of those combinations would be awesome.

I know this is just speculation and early. | Quote: | Dimitroff spoke of the 17 free agents the team has on the books currently and what directions the re-signing of certain free agents can take them.
|
| Quote: | | The general manager said an early estimate on the number of free agents that may return is eight. The decisions that await, Dimitroff said, won’t always be popular but, but they will be made with the best interest of the Falcons in mind. |

I've been sayin Tom Clements since last offseason. Knows MM system + knows Green Bay WCO = boom.
I'd like Mel Tucker or Spags to be the D coordinator. I loved what Tucker showed this season with a healthy defense at JAX, he just completely shadowed some offenses and his system fits what Coach Smith likes. Having a top coordinator is always great and could do wonders with this defense but I think he'll end up in Philly
As of our FA here's who I think will stay: Brent Grimes, Harry Douglas, Abe, Biermann, Curtis Lofton, Zelenka, DeCoud and Snelling/Walker.
Bring Ben Grubbs if possible, would solve our OG problems. Draft a LT in Round 2.

Yes to Grubbs, but I think we use the pick on something like a CB, DE, maybe a RB if one falls. You do have us re-signing Beer Truck and Snelling though, which would almost lock us on either a CB or LT, so pretty realistic.
My dream coordinators would be Billick and Spags though

I've been saying Tom Clements for at least a couple of offseasons, lol. It didn't take very long for the wagon to fill up.
