29-year-old safety Jessie Bates is also in the final year of his deal, and the Falcons could save significant cap space by giving him a simple extension or moving on from him. He proposes Raheem Morris and the San Francisco 49ers send a third-round pick to the Falcons for Bates and a sixth. The Falcons wouldn't just get a third in return; they'd also clear $13 million in salary cap space. The thing is, and this is new for Falcons fans, they don't really need the $13 million next year either.
