The Atlanta Falcons have $27.364 million invested in defensive players as free agency approaches. The Falcons are projected to be $29.35 million under the cap. DE Tyson Jackson is the most expensive defender with a cap hit of $6.35 million in 2016.

Footballguys View: They need some help on both sides of the ball, so while they might want to spend all their cap room on defense, they might need to spread it around more and include the offense. That said, you get what you pay for and Atlanta paid very little to end up as the No. 26 defense per Football Outsiders DVOA metric.
