Falcons post-free agency offensive lineup projection

The Atlanta Falcons took a big swing on the opening day of free agency by signing quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract. While several teams were in the market for a QB, none of the others could match Atlanta’s offensive talent level.

A great running game is a quarterback’s best friend and former head coach Arthur Smith helped build one of the best ground attacks in the NFL over the last three years. The Falcons have an elite run-blocking offensive line with three potential stars in wide receiver Drake London, tight end Kyle Pitts and running back Bijan Robinson.

Atlanta has acquired multiple wide receivers over the past week. Check out our updated offensive starting lineup projection for the Falcons after their recent free-agent additions.
