AI is coming to the NFL, and it could transform the game The next wave of artificial intelligence will make the fourth-down bot look like an abacus.

Josh @joshkendall.bsky.social would have you Imagine a voiced AI agent telling you to look out for the weakside linebacker while you’re sitting alone in your office on a Tuesday night.
Yikes.

The Falcons expect Kirk Cousins to show up for Atlanta’s mandatory minicamp tomorrow, sources say.

Cousins did not attend the team’s voluntary OTAs in late May, but was present for workouts in April.

His preference is still to be traded to a team where he could start.

How the Falcons got comfortable with a risky trade up for James Pearce Jr. The trade up for Pearce Jr. has been scrutinized in league circles, but Atlanta believes it has a player who fits into "the top bucket."

The Falcons took two risks in selecting James Pearce Jr.

This is why they think it was worth it.

Why the Falcons released Grady Jarrett and how it will affect the locker room Releasing Jarrett had to sting for Falcons owner Arthur Blank. The veteran was the face of the defense and locker room leader in Atlanta.

The Falcons locker room won't smell the same with Grady Jarrett gone.

Let me explain.
