The Atlanta Falcons have a nice little break before their prime-time matchup against the New Orleans Saints, but they appear to be trending in the right direction after Thursday’s win over the Green Bay Packers. Since the Falcons play in the NFL’s worst division, they are very much alive in the playoff race. The front office must always be thinking about the future, though. And to his credit, first-year Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham locked in four key players – Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Matthew Bergeron. So, which players are up for new contracts at the end of the 2026 NFL season? The list includes safety Jessie Bates III, center Ryan Neuzil, linebacker Divine Deablo and offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor. Check out the full list of Falcons players who are set to become free agents in 2027 below.

The Falcons will return to action next Monday for their prime-time road matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
