The post 1 perfect Falcons move to fill out roster before 2025 training camp<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Falcons<\/a> are hoping for a big season from Michael Penix Jr., and an additional lift from a few underrated players<\/a> could also help. Furthermore, here is one perfect Falcons move to fill out the roster before the team\u2019s 2025 training camp.<\/p>\n

Atlanta will practice at IBM Performance Field in Flowery Branch, Georgia, with rookies and veterans both reporting on July 23.<\/p>\n

The Falcons did a nice job reshaping their defense for the upcoming season with a strong draft. But they still have one area that could be better.<\/p>\n

Falcons should sign CB Rasul Douglas\"Gregory<\/p>\n

The Falcons drafted a linebacker, an edge rusher, and two safeties among their five picks. But one area the team didn\u2019t address was the cornerback position.<\/p>\n

However, they did get undrafted free agent Cobee Bryant. That could help them, but there\u2019s also a reason he didn\u2019t get selected by other cornerback-needy teams. Head coach Raheem Morris is high on<\/a> Bryant, according to Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cCobee is the most famous undrafted player I\u2019ve ever been around,\u201d said Morris ahead of rookie mini-camp. \u201cI mean, my kids know him. It\u2019s unbelievable, all the stuff that he has and the accolades. But, when you go back and watch the tape, you\u2019re not shocked that he\u2019s well known. The amount of players that he\u2019s played against and the guys that he\u2019s able to compete against when you watch his tape is exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the Falcons should add a veteran like Douglas to help bring Bryant along and not expect too much from the rookie in 2025. Douglas is a former third-round pick and an eight-year veteran. He doesn\u2019t have any Pro Bowls on his resume, but he started 15 games for the Bills last season.<\/p>\n

Raheem Morris\u2019 background a plus to lure Rasul Douglas<\/p>\n

Morris\u2019 background helped the Falcons attract Bryant, and it might allow the team to reel in Douglas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the reason you\u2019re able to get a guy like Cobee,\u201d said Morris. \u201cWe didn\u2019t take an outside corner in the draft. There\u2019s a guy that you can go and sit down and talk with and really talk about it, convince him to come in here, having a great opportunity to go out there and compete and be the best version of himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were fortunate enough to be able to bring him here on a 30 visit and to get a chance to meet with him and get around him and really find some real interest and be able to grow. Then, when it came down to that \u2013 let\u2019s call it what it is, the recruiting process \u2013 I had a real clear vision and was able to really speak to him in a real clear fashion because I had watched the tape. I\u2019d been around him. I knew what he can do. I knew what he was capable of. Whoever we were competing with basically didn\u2019t have a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Douglas recently seemed to rule out<\/a> a return to his former team, the Green Bay Packers. Also, he reportedly turned down an offer from the Dolphins, according to the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dolphins have maintained contact with Bills free agent cornerback Rasul Douglas, who rejected a Miami offer in May,\u201d Barry Jackson wrote. \u201cHe remains a possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other teams could be chasing Rasul Douglas<\/p>\n

Also, the Bengals could be in<\/a> the mix, according to bleacherreport.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith great play strength, strong ball skills and a 6-foot-2, 209-pound frame, Douglas is a big perimeter corner who can out-position receivers and create takeaways in bunches,\u201d Kristopher Knox wrote. \u201cBetween 2021 and 2023, he logged 14 interceptions and 40 pass breakups.<\/p>\n

\u201cDouglas would be a solid fit for the Cincinnati Bengals, who could pair him with Cam Taylor-Britt to create a physical and formidable duo on the outside. Cincinnati ranked 21st in passing yards allowed last season and did nothing to improve its cornerback room in free agency or the draft.\u201d<\/p>\n

That makes sense, but the Falcons also made the mention list for Knox.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Atlanta Falcons also should take a look at Douglas, especially if he can be had at a bargain price,\u201d Knox wrote. \u201cAtlanta ranked 22nd in passing yards allowed last season, and assistant head coach Jerry Gray previously spent time with Douglas as the Packers\u2019 defensive backs coach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The key thing is the Falcons went so hard toward their defense in the draft. It seems they said the offense had everything it needed, and adding the right pieces to the defense would make the team a serious contender for the playoffs. And noise if the Falcons get there.<\/p>\n

So the Falcons shouldn\u2019t let their cornerback situation hold them back. They are OK with A.J.. Terrell on the left side, but the remaining bunch might not be good enough. Mike Hughes, Keith Taylor Jr., Clark Phillips III, Natrone Brooks, Mike Ford Jr., and Bryant don\u2019t throw fear into opposing NFL offenses.<\/p>\n
