The Atlanta Falcons are pretty much Bijan Robinson's team.
That means when free agency rolls around this week, they likely won't be re-signing their free agent running back, Tyler Allgeier.
Allgeier was reliable with the Falcons before Robinson, and he proved solid in a complementary role after Robinson arrived.
Now, he'll likely be looking for a bigger gig than the one he has had in Atlanta.
NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks lists Allgeier as a free agent sleeper for this year's class of available players.

Neither Brooks nor any other analyst has spent much time analyzing a potential Allgeier return to Atlanta, which has a whole new leadership group.
Instead, another team may find a sneaky pickup in the form of Allgeier.
"Entering his fifth NFL season, Allgeier should land an RB1 job as a free agent after teasing the football world with his talents as Bijan Robinson ’s backup," Brooks writes. "Allgeier has already shown lead-back ability, putting together a 1,000-yard campaign in his 2022 rookie campaign before settling into his role as an RB2 behind an All-Pro talent. As a rugged rusher who specializes in running through contact in the hole, the 5-10, 225-pounder is built to play in a power scheme that prominently features downhill runs on the call sheet. Based on his prior success when given a heavy workload, Allgeier could re-emerge as a 1,000-yard back with a new team in 2026."
This is the kind of guy who fits a bit of the Rico Dowdle mold from last offseason, where it was sort of out of his control to leave his team, then he shone in a new place.
Allgeier can be a bruising, powerful lead back in the right situation. It'll be interesting to see if a team brings him in with the intention of giving him an increased role from what he's done lately with the Falcons behind Robinson.
