The number is sure to change with Brian Orakpo and Brooks Reed leaning towards signing with the Falcons. With the extra space, the team is expected to reach out to remaining tight ends soon enough. Julius Thomas has been reportedely snagged by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but proficient players such as Charles Clay and Jordan Cameron remain.

ICYMI: My FA wishlist for the Falcons is up. Is a pass rusher & tight end too much to ask for? @TheFalcoholichttp://t.co/nM5r0z88m1 — Allen Strk (@Allen_Strk) March 9, 2015

Also as many know, the Atlanta Falcons are going to have interest in Niles Paul. Paul is a strictly receiving tight end that showed bursting potential last year with the Redskins.

Niles Paul would be an interesting addition to the team. I think it would allow the Falcons to draft and develop a tight end. — Matt (@FalconsM5) March 3, 2015
