Atlanta is entering a new era with a front office led by GM Ian Cunningham and president of football Matt Ryan, working alongside head coach Kevin Stefanski to reshape the roster for a competitive 2026 season.
Pro Football Focus’ Mason Cameron predicts Allgeier could sign with Kansas City on a one-year, $1.8 million deal, a value the Chiefs might consider given their cap situation, which is reportedly over the limit by roughly $54.7 million.
Cameron emphasizes the fit for Kansas City’s zone-run approach, noting Allgeier’s elusiveness and his eighth-best PFF rushing grade on zone concepts across his four NFL seasons, along with his ability to create yards after contact.
Allgeier has been a Falcons staple since his rookie year, rushing for 1,035 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie and continuing to post solid numbers with over 500 rushing yards in each of the past three seasons, including a career-high eight TDs in 2025.
If Atlanta moves on, the Falcons would need to identify a capable replacement. Bijan Robinson remains the lead back, but a reliable RB2 would be essential as Stefanski and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees shape their offense.
Overall, the Falcons’ offseason plans will hinge on balancing cap realities with a refreshed roster under Cunningham and Ryan, potentially including the future of a notable contributor like Allgeier.
