Falcons new regime officially puts an end to Arthur Smith experiment.
The new ownership will not be bringing back Feleipe Franks, a decision that means nothing to the rest of the NFL and everything to Falcons supporters.
Greg Auman claims that Atlanta will not tender his contract, making him an unrestricted free agent and officially ending the Arthur Smith experiment.
After going undrafted in 2021, Franks became popular in Atlanta as a special team player, quarterback, and tight end, akin to Taysom Hill. Even if he was a skilled athlete, it was a dubious choice.
The fact that the Florida and Arkansas product persisted for two years may have been due in part to Arthur Smith’s tenacity or his affection for Franks.
Regardless of the status of the roster or his potential effect, the former head coach of the Falcons decided to keep him on the team. He could cover many spots, but that was about all he had to give.
Franks was anticipated to remain on Smith’s squad going into the 2023 campaign, but a lower body injury essentially ruined his season. This report by Jordan Schultz is absurd.
Franks will miss roughly three months due to a torn tendon in his foot, according to a source. Atlanta’s offensive staff, led by HC Arthur Smith, has great expectations for him.
Lord, please assist me. The hilariousness of Arthur Smith’s fixation with Feleipe Franks will never fade. With Raheem Morris managing the Falcons, which will not be allocating roster slots to unproven QB-TEs who shouldn’t be there, Atlanta is entering a new era.
