13 Veteran Free Agents Who Give Atlanta a Chance to Improve This Summer

Looking at the current Atlanta Falcons roster, there are a myriad of veterans and depth players that could prove valuable. Even though the summer is well underway, there are still players available for free agency in Atlanta. While Atlanta has very little room under the salary cap, the right moves could allow the Falcons to make an addition or two.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the best possible picks remaining in free agency for Atlanta.

Jones deserves to retire as an Atlanta Falcon. Even if it means the receiver simply signs a one-day contract and chooses to retire. Jones has sacrificed his body on numerous occasions for this team and it has shown in the second half of his career.

Even though Jones isn’t as close to the player he was when he left Atlanta, there’s still value in signing the veteran. Having Jones as a fifth or sixth receiver gives Atlanta another reason to draw fans to the stadium and a leader for its young position players to look up to. Jones finishing his career in Atlanta would be fitting, whether as a player or just for a ceremonial signing. Both work, and the team should accomplish that before the season begins.
