Atlanta Falcons

With the 2026 NFL Draft in the rear-view mirror, the Atlanta Falcons are looking for other ways to improve their roster before the players report for minicamp next month. While there's no guarantee that the team will make any notable moves, nothing is off the table.

Despite recent rumors of a possible Kyle Pitts trade, the Falcons may look to keep the talented tight end in Atlanta following his impressive 2025 campaign. Nonetheless, there are other players on the market and you never know what GM Ian Cunningham has up his sleeve.

In today's Falcons recap, ESPN highlights two of the team's draft steals, the rookies get their uniforms, and we look at two NFL trade proposals.

Falcons listed as trade suitor for Browns QB Dillon Gabriel

The Falcons are likely set at quarterback, but they were mentioned as a team to watch in a new trade block feature from Bleacher Report. Atlanta and Tampa Bay were listed as potential landing spots for Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel.

"While teams won't be clamoring to add Gabriel as a potential starter, the 25-year-old should draw interest as a backup," wrote B/R's Kristopher Knox. "While his athletic limitations were on display last season, he looked like a capable spot starter, posting an 80.8 passer rating in six starts. The Browns will probably take what they can get for Gabriel, who should interest teams that lack a young developmental backup."
