With the 2024 NFL trade deadline less than a week away, several teams appear to be sellers, and several others probably should be. Among those there are quite a few pass-rushers that could be made available. Sure, the big names such as Maxx Crosby and Miles Garrett would be wonderful additions to this Atlanta Falcons team, but there are several others that may come at a smaller price tag should the Falcons not be willing to pay up.

Players like Za’darius Smith of the Cleveland Browns, and Arden Key of the Tennessee Titans would be great additions to this Falcons pass rush. Both the Browns and Titans have already moved players, so it stands to reason that they may not be done dealing players.


After all, the Falcons simply need to add to the pass rush to compliment Matthew Judon, so they don’t necessarily need to add an All-Pro player like Garrett. Before the 2024 season started, the Falcons seemed to be going “all-in” after adding Kirk Cousins and other players, so it seems that they don’t only owe it to the fans to improve the pass rush, but they also owe it to themselves.
