Atlanta Falcons will extend A.J. Terrell's contract at right price

The Atlanta Falcons cornerback play was up and down throughout the 2023 NFL season. Top cornerback A.J. Terrell struggled a bit with allowing too many explosive plays while Jeff Okudah had a rough November. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down the areas and aspects that Terrell, Okudah, and Clark Phillips must improve upon to get better production from this position group in 2024. He also breaks down whether or not this offseason is the right time to extend Terrell’s contract and how much should his price tag be.

He also breaks down the revolving door opposite Terrell at outside cornerback, and why Okudah and Phillips may not be the preferred options to become a “door stop.” Aaron also breaks down why Phillips’ zone coverage ability might be valuable in a zone-heavy scheme employed under new head coach Raheem Morris and defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake. He looks ahead to the offseason and discusses if the Falcons are poised to find a long-term solution at outside cornerback in free agency or the draft, and whether Okudah, Tre Flowers, and Mike Hughes are poised to return.
