News Update: All-Pro pass rusher becomes available for the Falcons through trade

The Falcons’ roster is good but not exceptional; many would characterize them as talented but underperforming.

This offseason, it is evident that there are gaps that must be filled. The quarterback position, which will be the main focus of the offseason, is the most crucial of all.

Still, there are other positions that require attention as well. A.J. Terrell could use a running buddy or two, just like Drake London does. Regardless of needs, the trenches should always be reinforced. It is always beneficial to have a good number of reserve linemen available.

Aside from the quarterback, some would contend that an edge defender is superior to all of them. Even if Arnold Ebiketie made progress in his development last season, an All-Pro is now tradeable since teams in the NFL can never have enough pass rushers.

The 29-year-old, who had 27 sacks in the previous two seasons, signed a three-year, $45 million contract with Philadelphia in 2022. If a three-year contract could even be classified as a prove-it pact, he has undoubtedly made the most of it. For Reddick, it’s a significant increase to go from a $15 million AAV to likely over $20 million annually. He will be compared to the following names.

$34M (AAV) for Nick BosaT.J. Watt: $28,000

Joey Bosa: $27 million

Myles Garrett: $25 million

$24.5M is Mnotez Sweat.

Rashan Gary: $24 million

Khalil Mack: $23.5 million

Maxx Crosby: $23.5 million
