The Atlanta Falcons are looking at multiple big decisions when this season concludes.
Multiple talented Falcons will be out of their contracts and bound for free agency when the 2025 campaign is over.
Kyle Pitts has been a popular name for speculation, but there seems to be a feeling the Falcons will let him go.

Another pending free agent, though: Kaden Elliss.
Elliss is a talented linebacker. Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox writes that Elliss is the guy the Falcons should focus on re-signing in the offseason.
"It might behoove Atlanta to let Pitts test a free-agent market deep at his position before making an offer," Knox writes. "Locking up linebacker Kaden Elliss, however, would be quite sensible. Elliss is one of the more underrated players headed to market, but he's a terrific do-it-all defender for the Falcons. He's already racked up 74 tackles, 3.5 sacks and an interception this season. While he'll be 31 in July, the Falcons would be wise to keep him away from free agency."

Atlanta will have other big things to worry about. Will quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Be healthy for Week 1? Is he their franchise QB, anyway?
There'll be the matter of potentially replacing Pitts, and maybe of adding a better WR2 than Darnell Mooney.
That means that if the Falcons can at least just get Elliss signed to a new deal, that's one less spot to worry about.
