The Atlanta Falcons put together their best passing performance of the season on Sunday, then added another wide receiver to their roster on Tuesday afternoon.
The team traded away a sixth-round pick in 2025 to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for wide receiver Van Jefferson and a seventh-round pick in 2025.
Buy Falcons TicketsJefferson, a former second-round selection, should add some speed to a Falcons offense that currently lacks a true deep threat. Let’s see how fans on Twitter reacted to Tuesday’s trade.
In 2021 with the #Rams, Van Jefferson had 50 catches for 802 yards with six TDs. If Atlanta can get anywhere close to that production, it’s a huge win. https://t.co/QBKoVYeQMf

Pitts had way too many targets Sunday so this was a must https://t.co/4yosNRRHR2

Hodge messes up one wildcat play and the team immediately get to work on finding a replacement. Accountability https://t.co/JnQxDcpEtr

The Falcons add to their WR room for very cheap. Jefferson has an 800-yard season under his belt and is still relatively young at age 27. https://t.co/zRuuCeEDxJ

Huge upgrade at the number 3 WR. Should be fun to watch. https://t.co/Y05FMaFHIJ

Arthur saw one 300 yard game from Ridder and decided to convert to the air raid https://t.co/w4BX3RWR2t

The Falcons can’t even utilize Drake London or Kyle Pitts like they should…
