Terry Fontenot, the Falcons' general manager, worked hard to resolve a difficult salary cap issue due to oversized contracts of players like Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. As of the 2023 offseason, the Falcons managed to retain key players and signed impactful free agents such as Jessie Bates. However, Kirk Cousinsâ hefty contract remains a concern for Atlanta's future. Projections suggest a salary cap of up to $281.5 million for 2025, but the Falcons currently face a deficit of $4.9 million, down from $12 million over the cap last season, necessitating careful decision-making with 30 free agents soon to hit the market.
Cousins' uncertain future and monster contract could hinder Atlanta's offseason options in 2025.
The league provided clubs a projected salary cap range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million per club for the 2025 season.
While nothing is official yet, Over The Cap's updated projections list the team with a cap deficit of $4.9 million.
It's considerably better than where the Falcons previously stood at around $12 million over the cap.
