We know the Atlanta Falcons have a new head coach. Depending on Michael Penix Jr.'s ACL recovery, the Falcons could have a new starting quarterback with Tua Tagovailoa ready to prove his worth as a Pro Bowl talent.
But there are other questions too. As for whether the Falcons have enough strong receivers to complement Drake London and Kyle Pitts.
There are free agent signees Olamide Zaccheus and Jahan Dotson, as well as rookie third-round pick Zachariah Branch. Still, Zaccheus and Dotson have never recorded more than 550 yards in a season, and Branch is also clearly unproven.
Thus, it's not unreasonable to think that the Falcons could add a receiver with a proven track record, and there are still some former All-Pro and Pro Bowl players available.
recently, Sports IllustratedAlbert Breer of the NFL suggested the Falcons could be an eventual landing spot for free agent Stefon Diggs.
"I think Diggs would probably be somewhere in that one-year, $10 million range. The Chiefs could understand. The Commander could understand, because Diggs is from D.C., the Falcons and Rams would also be interesting landing spots."

There isn't a lot of money available in free agency at this stage. But Diggs won't receive anything close to the $96 million contract he once had in Buffalo. Still, we may see the market for Diggs heating up now that signed players will not impact the team's compensatory selection formula.
The recently concluded NFL Draft also helps, giving teams a better idea of their remaining needs and what type of role a veteran can fill. In Atlanta, the role is quite clear; He will be the starting receiver in front of London, while also helping draw attention away from Pitts.
The question is how many other teams are eyeing Diggs for a similar role, and whether the Falcons have a situation that will last. Also, the Falcons may have the upper hand, with head coach Kevin Stefanski spending the first five seasons of Diggs' career as a member of the Minnesota Vikings' coaching staff.
Ultimately, the Falcons appear to have a lot working in their favor when it comes to bringing Diggs on board, but there has been no official movement linking him to Atlanta. As yet.
