The Atlanta Falcons went into the 2026 NFL offseason with limited cap space but still managed to fill out the bottom of their roster with affordable free agents. On the flip side, the team was forced to let several players, including linebacker Kaden Elliss and Tyler Allgeier, walk in free agency.
Elliss signed a three-year contract with the rival New Orleans Saints, while Allgeier landed a three-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals. Atlanta signed linebackers Christian Harris and Channing Tindall to replace Elliss, and added veteran running back Brian Robinson Jr. to replace Allgeier.
On Wednesday the team re-signed linebacker DeAngelo Malone to a one-year contract. One day later, quarterback Kirk Cousins signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. So, which former Falcons remain unsigned one month into NFL free agency?
As of April 4, eight members of last year's team have yet to find new homes for 2026. Check out the full list, along with the Falcons' free-agent additions and losses below.
The Falcons' top free-agent acquisitions include quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, edge Azeez Ojulari, wide receiver Jahan Dotson and defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand. Atlanta also brought in a number of depth additions, such as tight end Austin Hooper, wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus and linebacker Christian Harris.
Former Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney signed with the New York Giants, while defensive tackle David Onyemata signed with the New York Jets. Atlanta released former Pro Bowl wide receiver Khadarel Hodge, who's yet to find a new team.
Next up for Atlanta is the 2026 NFL Draft, which begins on April 23 and ends on April 25.
