The Atlanta Falcons didn’t make many fireworks themselves on day one of the new league year but some of their rivals did.

Several major changes took place around the NFC South on Thursday when the first day of free agency opened. Here is a recap of seven moves that will have the most impact on Atlanta.

1. DeSean Jackson signs with Buccaneers

The most significant seismic shift in the division came when Tampa Bay signed star wide receiver DeSean Jackson to a three-year, $35 million deal:

Jackson is one of the league’s elite receivers and has finished in the top 10 in yards per reception in each of the last four seasons. Paired with stud Mike Evans, Jackson and the Buccaneers will test the depth of Atlanta’s young secondary in a big way.

2. Chris Baker signs with Buccaneers

The Bucs were also active on the other side of the ball and landed a possible free agent target for the Falcons. Veteran defensive end Chris Baker left Washinton’s dysfunction behind to sign a three-year deal with Tampa Bay:

Chris Baker 3-yr deal with Bucs…$6M+ per yr Rhett Ellison 4-yr $18M deal with Giants with $8M fully guaranteed at signing — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 9, 2017

Baker is a classic bully kind of interior lineman who has posted 9.5 sacks over the last two years.

The Falcons front office should be prioritizing pass protection for Matt Ryan even more with Baker in the mix.

3. Mike Glennon leaves Buccaneers for Bears

At long last, it seems Jay Cutler finally drove the Chicago Bears insane. Chicago released their franchise QB and signed Jameis Winston’s primary backup to a three-year, $45 million deal:

When Mike Glennon’s deal is finalized with #Bears, it’s expected to be 3 years for an average of $14.5M, source says. Will still draft a QB — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 9, 2017

If nothing else, the Buccaneers’ depth at QB is just a little bit thinner than it was earlier this week, which could play to Atlanta’s advantage down the line.

4. Matt Kalil signs with Panthers

The normally free-agency reserved Carolina Panthers went hog wild to address their offensive tackle problem. By signing Ryan Kalil’s brother Matt to a five-year, $55 million deal, general manager Dave Gettleman took an enormous risk on a player many analysts are bearish about:

If Kalil does not work out as a quality starting left tackle, Carolina just wasted an enormous amount of resources and Gettleman’s credibility will take a hit.

5. Ted Ginn Jr. and A.J. Klein leave Panthers for Saints

The Panthers also saw two of their own leave for New Orleans. Wide receiver and returner Ted Ginn Jr. jumped ship for the Saints:

And so did middle linebacker A.J. Klein:

Per @caplannfl #Saints’ deal with LB A.J. Klein is three years, $15 million, close to $10M guaranteed (with fourth year that voids) — Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) March 9, 2017

Given Luke Kuechly’s recurring concussion issues, Carolina should be concerned about their depth at ILB without Klein to back him up. Also, the Panthers receiver corps has plenty of size but without Ginn they are now severely depleted in the speed department.

Neither of them may be major contributors for New Orleans, but it will be interesting to see how they transition from one NFC South rival to another.

6. Nick Fairley re-signs with Saints

New Orleans nabbed a pair of popular Falcons free agent targets, as well.

Defensive tackle Nick Fairley had a renaissance year in 2016 and the Saints rewarded him with a handsome four-year contract with $30 million:

The #Saints contract with DT Nick Fairley is 4 years, worth almost $30M, source said. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 9, 2017

Fairley would have made a nice addition to Atlanta’s defensive line but realistically Thomas Dimitroff and Dan Quinn were never going to pay that much for him. The Falcons have made it clear that they’re playing the lower end of the DT market and have no plans to splurge on outside free agents.

Much like Baker, Fairley has alot of power and a mean streak that will give the Falcons interior OL trouble during the season.

7. Larry Warford signs with Saints

Last but not least, the Saints also signed Larry Warford, who was one of the top guards on the market:

Warford beefs up New Orleans’ interior offensive line, which underscores the need for Atlanta to produce a suitable replacement for Jonathan Babineaux. His signing is also an indication the Falcons may be priced out of the guard market for 2017.

While Tampa Bay’s moves were intriguing, for now Atlanta should still be considered the top dogs in the NFC South.
