It was revealed on Wednesday morning that the Falcons have created an extra $7.1 million in salary cap space by converting part of Jake Matthews' salary to a signing bonus. With the team now having nearly $10 million in space, Andy and Randy wonder if there is a significant move coming, and share their top choice for the team to try to add.

There's been a lot of rumors circulating about the Vikings trading Kirk Cousins this season, and now that the team is 0-3, those murmurs are starting to get quite a bit louder. But that's not the only member of the Vikings that opposing teams could be interested in. The Falcons might end up taking part in those discussions.

Vikings LB/DE Danielle Hunter is currently second in the NFL in sacks, with five in three games, trailing just the six sacks that TJ Watt of the Steelers has. The Falcons as a team have just three sacks on the season.
