In the two years since hiring general manager Terry Fontenot, the Atlanta Falcons have gone from salary cap hell to having the second-most projected cap space in the NFL.
If the team releases quarterback Marcus Mariota, Atlanta would have nearly $70 million to spend this offseason. While we don’t expect the team to go on a spending frenzy, there’s room to add a few quality players without completely breaking the bank.
