Will be unrestricted free agent
Atlanta will not tender Alford's contract, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alford is coming off a season in which he set a career high in tackles (83), though that may partially have been a function of his being less dominant in coverage than he was during his first two years as a pro. He'll be free to make a deal with any bidder when the legal tampering period begins on March 10.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A 2022 UDFA, Alford is working as the Falcons' top slot CB in 2024 with Mike Hughes moving outside. Alford also has punt-return experience but likely wouldn't be a primary return man if he's operating as a starter on defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Pushing for starting role
Alford has worked ahead of Mike Hughes as the Falcons' primary nickel corner throughout OTAs, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alford has impressed the coaching staff and appears to be running ahead of Hughes, who signed with the Falcons in free agency after being part of a porous Lions secondary in 2022. Atlanta's coaching staff has praised Alford's progress, and the former CFL player is poised for a bigger role after racking up 25 tackles, one interception and seven passes defensed as a reserve for the Falcons in his first NFL campaign last year.
