Falcons | Bill Belichick didn't seek total control Wed Apr 17, 09:46 AM
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick didn't demand total control of the roster in his pursuit of the Atlanta Falcons head coaching position.
| Footballguys view: It seemed early on that Belichick to the Falcons was going to happen. Belichick met twice with Falcons' owner Arthur Blank, and then...nothing. Atlanta went with Raheem Morris, and Belichick is not in the league this year. He'll be in the conversation next offseason, and if he doesn't want total control then perhaps some team will bring him on board to be their head coach. |

Link to story Falcons | Ladd McConkey visiting Atlanta Fri Apr 12, 11:25 AM
Georgia WR Ladd McConkey is visiting the Atlanta Falcons ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, according to sources Friday, April 12.
| Footballguys view: McConkey is drawing some Cooper Kupp comparisons in the pre-draft process. He's fun to watch on film, and McConkey was a favorite player of our very own Cecil Lammey down at the Senior Bowl earlier this year. He's fast, quick, and McConkey is competitive after the catch. He's not Kupp, but we could see him as a plus-Marvin Mims (Broncos) player for any team interested. |
