The Falcons have undergone a significant change in leadership, with a new head coach stepping in due to the team’s lack of a consistently reliable quarterback. Now that the coaching staff has been revamped, the next major task is to secure a quarterback.
The new offensive coordinator, Zac Robinson, has emphasized that the Falcons will be exploring a wide range of possibilities. “All options are on the table,” Robinson stated during a press conference, as reported by Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com.
This means that the Falcons are open to considering any and all potential quarterbacks, regardless of their playing style. Robinson clarified, “Whether it’s a pocket guy, whether it’s a guy that can move around a little bit, we’re just looking for the best guy.” He also mentioned that they are evaluating the current quarterbacks on the roster, including Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder.
In addition to the existing options, the Falcons will explore free agency, with Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings being a notable candidate. Cousins has a connection to Georgia, as his wife grew up in Alpharetta, and his parents still reside there.
Trade possibilities are also on the table, with Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears being a potential target. The Falcons have the eighth overall pick in the upcoming draft, providing another avenue to secure a quarterback.
It’s clear that the Falcons are determined to find a solution at quarterback beyond their current options. The need for change is evident, as evidenced by the decision to bring in a new coaching staff.
