The Atlanta Falcons will be talking to free agents in March. With that said, take a look at five five underrated targets they should consider.

Heading into 2018 NFL Free Agency, the Atlanta Falcons have somewhat of a challenge ahead of them. While the team has done a great job putting together pieces on their defensive-line, they’ll be losing some key contributors from their 2017 campaign. If this team want to get back to the NFC Playoffs in 2018, adding more talent on that side of the ball is imperative,

Still, Atlanta is in great shape when you look at their roster overall. With numerous All-Pro players returning for action in 2018, the Dirty Birds will, once again, be one of the NFC’s teams-to-beat come September.

It’s crazy to think about how successful the Falcons front-office has been in the last few seasons, which is why I always advise Atlanta fans to approach the free agency period with caution. It’s easy to get wrapped up into high-profile players that hit the market, but they eventually become cap casualties down the road.

Needless to say, the Falcons have swung and missed on a few of those players within the last decade.

When Atlanta begins talking to free agents over the next few weeks, I believe there are five under-the-radar guys they should be targeting. Take a look at those players in the following pages.
