The Atlanta Falcons were so close to winning a championship this past season. Here are the players they need to target to help win it all next season.

Getting to the Super Bowl is hard getting back to the Super Bowl the next season is close to impossible. The worst thing that teams can do is sit back and think that they can pick up where they left off.

Take a look at last years Super Bowl teams, where were the Carolina Panthers or Denver Broncos come playoff time? The Falcons rank in the middle of pack of payroll and cap space that they will have at their disposal. Here are the players that the Falcons need to use their cap space on this off-season.

1. Bring Back Patrick DiMarco

Any Falcons fan know just how good DiMarco is and how important he is to the success of the run game, lets hold off on paying up Freeman or Coleman just yet and focus on bringing back DiMarco.

He is one of the best fullbacks in the game right now at pancaking defenders or going out and catching a pass in wide open space. He is a key and underrated part of the Falcon’s offense that they cannot afford to lose in the 2017 season.
