Osiruz 10,079 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The Falcons have until 4:00 p.m. ET tomorrow to trim their roster down from 90 to 53 players in preparation for the regular season. This one slipped under the radar during the middle of last night’s preseason win over the Jaguars, but general manager Thomas Dimitroff says the team will probably cut 27 players today, per Vaughn McClure at ESPN. Dimitroff said probably 27 cuts tomorrow then the rest on Saturday. — vaughn mcclure (@vxmcclure23) August 30, 2019 That will leave 10 more to come on Saturday. Dimitroff, Dan Quinn and the rest of the front office have some difficult decisions to make. Their depth at receiver in particular presents challenges, as several talented players are no doubt going to get left behind. Source: USA today.

He is actually very talented and could be better once he learns the playbook. I agree, as long as no one else picks him up. He has to be waived first, then we can try to sign him to PS. Remember, Atlanta had to submit a waiver claim to get Etling when Pats cut him, so they may think there are others out there that have interest. Osiruz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Long Shot 3,930 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I feel like we actually have some depth this year. Good job by the front office this past offseason it's like night and day compared to last year where I don't recall anyone really being "worried" about who was gonna get cut before the start of the year.
