It\u2019s the slowest time of the NFL offseason, but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not curious what\u2019s happening with our Atlanta Falcons. Right now we are just days away from players reporting for training camp, and we\u2019re enjoying the fact that Adam Rank projected the New Orleans Saints to go 2-15 this season<\/a> \u2014 and there\u2019s still plenty of Falcons and NFL news to talk about. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re bringing back the daily(ish) Falcoholinks post to round up all the news you can use, and to give the community an open thread for the day to discuss all things Falcons in the comments. <\/p>\n

Atlanta Falcons news<\/p>\n

Falcons Bijan Robinson and Jessie Bates land at Nos. 35, 40 on Pro Football Focus\u2019 Top-50 2025 list. The players were ranked by analysts Dalton Wasserman and Trevor Sikkema, and the remainder of the list will be released over the next couple of days. – Pro Football Focus<\/a><\/p>\n

Bobby Petrino sucks, according to CBS Sports\u2019 Cody Benjamin. Benjamin ranked the coward former Falcons head coach the second-worst NFL coaching hire of this century. – CBS Sports<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaden Elliss was snubbed from NFL executives, coaches and scouts off-ball linebacker rankings collected by ESPN. Elliss did receive at least one vote, but it wasn\u2019t enough to even land a spot on the Honorable Mention list. – ESPN<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of Kaden Elliss, Terrin Waack has a great preview of the inside linebacker position on the team\u2019s website. – AtlantaFalcons.com<\/a><\/p>\n

NFL news<\/p>\n

I know I already mentioned this, but it bears repeating: Adam Rank is projecting the Saints will finish the season 2-15. I hope we\u2019re calling him Adam Rankstrodamus by the end of the season. – Canal Street Chronicles<\/a><\/p>\n

Shemar Stewart is calling the Bengals\u2019 bluff and may consider returning to Texas A&M. At least we\u2019re not Bengals fans. – Cincy Jungle<\/a><\/p>\n

And this move from Shemar Stewart may well blow up the NFL Draft. This is really interesting analysis from Justis Mosqueda. – Acme Packing Company<\/a><\/p>\n

The Jets have been busy! Cornerback Sauce Gardner<\/a> and wide receiver Garrett Wilson<\/a> have both signed contract extensions this week. – Gang Green Nation<\/a><\/p>\n
