The Atlanta Falcons have secured 13 players on reserve/future contracts following the end of the 2024 regular season. The list includes:

- Junior Aho, defensive tackle

- Phillip Dorsett II, wide receiver

- Elijah Dotson, running back

- Dylan Drummond, wide receiver

- Joey Fisher, offensive guard

- Jovaughn Gwyn, offensive guard

- Lamar Jackson, defensive back

- Emory Jones, quarterback

- Khalid Kareem, defensive end

- Jesse Matthews, wide receiver

- Makai Polk, wide receiver

- Benny Sapp III, defensive back

- Tyrone Wheatley Jr., offensive tackle

Eleven of these players were part of the Falcons' practice squad as the 2024 season concluded. Among them, Jovaughn Gwyn participated in one game with two special teams snaps during a Week 18 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Lamar Jackson played in two games and took 18 special teams snaps across losses to the Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers. Khalid Kareem appeared in two games with 32 defensive snaps and 22 special teams snaps between losses to the New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos. He made four tackles during this period.

Joey Fisher and Makai Polk are new additions to Atlanta's roster. Fisher was previously with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the preseason but did not secure a spot post-roster cuts. Polk played for the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL last year where he recorded 61 receptions for 1,024 yards and five touchdowns.

The Falcons ended their 2024 campaign with an overall record of eight wins and nine losses.
