Atlanta Falcons: 3 Bold moves to make in 2018 offseason
By Derek Snyder
3. Sign Allen Robinson in NFL Free Agency
It was clear the Falcons offense in 2017 never hit on all cylinders, concluding with the same unit failing to convert a 4th-and-goal in Philadelphia, which ended their season. While there’s definitely a plethora of blame to go around for their offensive struggles, I believe the team needs to try and look elsewhere for help at wide receiver.

I hear a lot of fans and media talking about offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkisian, being the team’s main problem for why their offense struggled in 2017, but let’s not forget this team led the NFL in dropped passes. If Atlanta wants to make it back to the Super Bowl sometime in the near future, those struggles have to end ASAP.
For a receiving group who played so well in 2016, have such an inconsistent season is extremely unacceptable. Heck, they were responsible for most of Matt Ryan’s interceptions. With that said, I believe the team needs to land another top receiver in 2018 NFL Free Agency.
As Allen Robinson heads into the offseason, he’ll likely start drawing interest from numerous teams around the league; nevertheless, Thomas Dimitroff has to convince Robinson his best chance to win is with the Falcons.
