All-Pro safety Jesse Bates being dealt: Time for a rebuild in Atlanta?

Let the madness begin! Although we have already seen a few trades around the NFL trade deadline, things will keep heating up, as we expect a ton of movement over the next 24+ hours. The Atlanta Falcons got the day before the trade deadline started off by dealing All-Pro safety Jesse Bates to the Jacksonville Jaguars for some draft capital. The Falcons have traded Jesse Bates to the Jaguars and, in return, received draft capital in the form of a 2027 2nd-round pick and a 2028 5th-round pick. The Falcons are only a half game out in the NFC South division, but it appears an overhaul could be incoming, and the team could be mostly sellers as a rebuild could be imminent due to the lack of success in recent years of not making the playoffs, and taking on ludicrous deals that put them in a salary cap hole. Will the Falcons throw in the towel early?
