Now that June 1 has come and gone the Atlanta Falcons have an additional $10.75 million in salary cap space.
They're now $11.67 million under the salary cap, but a little less than $7 million of that will go to the rookie class.
Falcons will get almost $11 million in cap relief after June 1 with Desmond Trufant designated a post-June 1 cut. Still have to sign the draft class, of course.

May 21, 2020 Due to the "Rule of 51" the team will actually have at least $7.02 Million left
With around $7 million to use (really $5 million since you save some money for in-season emergencies), what should the Falcons do with it?
There are plenty of options:
- Grab an available (relatively) big-name free agent? (not Jadeveon Clowney but still some decent names out there)
- What position would you look to address?
- What should their role be, teacher/mentor or compete for starting role?
- Grab multiple lower-priced players for depth?
- Wait until after training camps to see which players get cut elsewhere and who you can bring in?
- Save it until AFTER Week 1 so you won’t have to guarantee the contracts?
How would you like to see the team spend their new-found funds?
