Cordarrelle Patterson doesn’t want to mess with a good thing. Patterson reportedly re-signed with the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday after having a career-best season with the team in 2021, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Patterson appeared to confirm the news with a profane tweet that used the Falcons’ “rise up” motto. The length and financial details of Patterson’s new deal were not revealed. Patterson, 31, returns to the team that best figured out how to utilize his skills…. Source link

The Julio Jones trade speculation has been percolating for months, especially in the past few weeks. Jones’ comments Monday on a national sports show should only crank up the boilers several degrees. In a surprising appearance on FS1’s “Undisputed” — with host Shannon Sharpe calling him on his cellphone on the air — Jones was asked about his future with the Atlanta Falcons. “Oh, man, I’m out of there, man,” Jones said. No, was this Jones projecting? Or does he have information from the… Source link

Julio Jones made one of the greatest catches in NFL history, and it’s all but forgotten.  With under five minutes remaining in the game and the Falcons up by eight, Jones extended on a Matt Ryan pass that was probably nine feet in the air, toe-tapped as he was falling out of bounds at the opposition’s 22, and cradled the ball like a newborn in what should have been a game-clinching catch.  Of course, the Falcons had been leading that game by a score of 28-3, so you probably know what… Source link

One major topic of discussion in NFL circles this year is the relative desirability of every head coaching and general manager opening across the NFL. The openings run the gamut from the Jets and Jaguars (cap space, no franchise quarterback, shaky ownership) to the Chargers (well-respected GM in place, promising young quarterback, crummy owner) to the Lions, Texans and Falcons (majorly disappointing teams with established quarterbacks and either cap problems, draft pick problems, or a… Source link

Jameis Winston will not be part of any offensive packages Sunday vs. the Falcons, per @diannaESPN. The Saints’ QB now is Taysom Hill. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 20, 2020 Hill reportedly took all the starter reps at practice this week instead of Jameis Winston, who stepped in for Brees last week. Saints’ QB… Source link

After an 0-5 start in which the Atlanta Falcons continued their confounding, Washington Generals-like inability to close out games, team owner Arthur Blank fired head coach Dan Quinn and named defensive coordinator Raheem Morris interim head coach. This was notable, and not just because Blank pulled the plug on a coach who was 21 minutes away from the Falcons’ Super Bowl win. No, this was also about Morris getting the one thing that’s proven to be all too rare for Black men who fall short… Source link

When Raheem Morris took over as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, the odds were against him earning the full-time job. That’s true for all interim coaches. While nobody can know how many wins the Falcons would have to bank to give Morris a legitimate interview to be hired on a permanent basis, he’s giving himself a shot. The Falcons got another win under Morris in a rainy Thursday night game, beating the Carolina Panthers 25-17. It looked like the Falcons might blow yet another… Source link
