3. Atlanta Falcons
While it’s too late for them to make the playoffs, the Atlanta Falcons have found some life late in the season. Whether it’s enough to save Raheem Morris’s job is still to be determined, but the fact remains that this team could be dangerous with the right quarterback. Unfortunately, it’s hard to know who that quarterback might be.
Michael Penix tore his ACL and might not be ready for the start of the season, and Kirk Cousins is far too expensive to keep for another season. Even if Penix is ready, the former first-round pick did not impress in 2025. Adding Trey Lance to the mix would add some much-needed competition, and the former top-three pick has plenty of untapped upside for this organization.
