ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky proposed that the Atlanta Falcons consider trading for Stetson Bennett, the Los Angeles Rams quarterback. The Falcons have faced quarterback challenges throughout training camp but saw promising performances from rookie Jack Strand and veteran Cooper Rush in a recent preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. Meanwhile, Bennett could fall to third on the Rams' depth chart after the team drafted Ty Simpson in the first round. Although Bennett had a strong preseason outing against the Saints, the Falcons' recent quarterback developments may make the trade less appealing.
