Falcons | Atlanta 32nd in defensive spending Thu Feb 25, 07:55 PM
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. |

The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with free-agent DE Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) on Tuesday, March 11, according to a source. The deal is reportedly a five-year, $25 million contract.
| Footballguys view: The Scott Pioli connection comes into play here. He's the new Falcons assistant general manager, and the former general manager of the Chiefs. Pioli selected Jackson with the third overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft. Jackson was a bust for the Chiefs, so it's surprising he would get a first day deal for this price tag. |

Chiefs | Coach impressed with Tyson Jackson Mon May 27, 02:34 PM
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he has been impressed with how DE Tyson Jackson has worked on improving his play this offseason. 'I've been impressed since we've been together here. Not many guys are going to outwork him on the field. Pass rush was not his forte, but he's working like crazy to get better. As a coach, that's all you can ask for. He's a big man who can move a little bit,' Reid said.
| Footballguys view: Jackson has never played up to his potential as a pro. We'll see if that changes this year under the Andy Reid regime. |

Chiefs | Releasing Tyson Jackson would create a lot of cap space Sat Mar 2, 01:28 PM
The Kansas City Chiefs would create around $15 million in salary cap space if they release DE Tyson Jackson this offseason.

Chiefs | DE a draft possibility Wed Feb 13, 11:35 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs could look to select a defensive end with the No. 11 overall pick in the NFL Draft after the team restructured the contract of DL Tyson Jackson.
| Footballguys view: Mississippi State DL Fletcher Cox or North Carolina DL Quinton Coples could be the targets. We think Cox will be off the board by the time the Chiefs select. Coples could develop into a Julius Peppers like DE if he plays up to his potential. |
