The Atlanta Falcons didn't let a lack of salary cap space prevent them from being active over the first two weeks of NFL free agency. The team has moved on from several key veterans, while adding depth and value in their early wave of signings.
The Falcons released high-priced backup Kirk Cousins and signed former top-five pick Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum. Wide receivers Darnell Mooney and KhaDarel Hodge were also released at the start of free agency.
Others, such as Leonard Floyd, Khalid Kareem and Josh Woods, remain unsigned nearly two weeks into the new league year. 13 members of last year's Falcons team are currently available in free agency.
Check out the full list of unsigned former Falcons, along with our breakdown of the team's 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.
As for the team's losses, running back Tyler Allgeier, cornerback Dee Alford, edge Arnold Ebiketie and defensive lineman David Onyemata top the list. Atlanta released wide receivers KhaDarel Hodge and Darnell Mooney. Both kicker Zane Gonzalez and punter Bradley Pinion have each signed with the Miami Dolphins.
