Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank brought back a franchise legend when he decided to hire Matt Ryan as the team's new president of football, but the move does not have a 100 percent approval rate.

According to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Stefanski is eyeing Tommy Rees to be the team's new offensive coordinator. Rees served as Cleveland's offensive coordinator in 2025, working closely with Stefanski for two seasons.

The Falcons won the final game of the regular season to reach a three-way tie in record at the top of the NFC South. But Atlanta’s win sent Carolina to the playoffs, while the Falcons officially finished third in the division and fired head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot.

The legendary QB is expected to oversee the hiring of Atlanta's new coach and GM after Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot were fired.

Pitts is obviously one of the top free agents available due to his age and production, but the next Falcons player on CBS Sports' list might surprise you. Defensive tackle David Onyemata landed the final spot on Podell's top 50 free agents of 2026.

The decision to keep Ulbrich came two days after Stefanski was named as the replacement for fired coach Raheem Morris. Ulbrich carried the endorsement of Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who had said when Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot were fired that he would recommend but not mandate the new coach keep the defensive coordinator.

The Atlanta Falcons hired Kevin Stefanski over the weekend, and Cleveland sports radio had some bold takes on what he could accomplish in Atlanta.
