It’s Monday, which means we’ve got some links for you to scour while you avoid emails.

Defensive free agents who fit the bill

The Falcons freed up some cap space with that Julio Jones trade that you may have heard about, so along with getting its rookie class under contract, Atlanta should have some money to spend to address areas on the team.

The Falcons are in the process of rebuilding the defense — especially after mass exodus at the safety position — and there are some names still remaining on the market who just might fit the bill.

NFC South expectations and the coming year

So with the personnel changes that have taken place in the division prior to the season, how much have your expecations changed the for NFC South in 2021?

Deion Jones: Record-watch

Deion Jones always seems to be around the football — the New Orleans Saints and Drew Brees can attest to that — and in 2021, Jones is in a position to potentially become the franchise leader in interceptions by a linebacker.

Jones only needs two more to make that mark on the franchise.

Final day of minicamp

So what were the happenings on the final day of Atlanta Falcons minicamp? We’ve got ya covered.

Fantasy sleepers 2021

Oh, our Evan Birchfield’s got ‘em. Looking to stack your team? Read right on, then.
