Falcons Cut 27 Players, Down To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 11:15am CST by Zachary Links

The Falcons are down to 53. With several hours to go before the 4pm ET/3pm CT deadline, the Falcons have released 27 players to meet the new max.

Some of these players will re-appear on the Falcons’ 16-man practice squad, if they’re not scooped up by another team. None of the cuts are particularly surprising, though D’Onta Foreman‘s name stands out on this list. The former UT star is still looking to reprise his rookie year with the Texans when he notched 327 rushing yards and two scores in ten games. However, he’ll have to do it somewhere else.

For now, the Falcons are keeping both of their backup quarterbacks. That means Feleipe Franks and Josh Rosen could be on the roster for the season opener, backstopping Matt Ryan.

Here’s the full rundown:

CB Delrick Abrams – Waived
DL Eli Ankou – Terminated, Vested Veteran
OL Willie Beavers – Waived
WR Trevor Davis – Terminated, Vested Veteran
DL Zac Dawe – Waived
ILB Emmanuel Ellerbee – Waived
RB D’Onta Foreman – Terminated, Vested Veteran
OL Matt Gono – Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform
WR Juwan Green – Waived
TE Parker Hesse – Reserve/COVID-19
RB Caleb Huntley – Waived

Seahawks OT George Fant Signs RFA Tender

April 17th, 2019 at 7:25pm CST by Dallas Robinson

Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant has signed his second-round restricted free agent tender, while defensive end Quinton Jefferson has signed his original round RFA tender, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.

A collegiate basketball player with only one year of NCAA football experience (which came as a tight end), Fant went undrafted in 2016 but still managed to start 10 games during his rookie campaign in Seattle. A torn ACL cost Fant the 2017 season, but he rebounded to appear in all 16 games and play 35% of the Seahawks’ offensive snaps in 2018.

Fant, who will now collect a $3.095MM base salary next year, graded out well in 2018, with Pro Football Focus ranking him as the No. 26 offensive tackle among 80 qualifiers. While he won’t be locked in as a starter heading into next season, Fant could compete with former fist-round pick Germain Ifedi for playing time at right tackle.

In addition to Fant and Jefferson, the Seahawks have also re-signed the following exclusive rights free agents:

LB Austin Calitro
LB Emmanuel Ellerbee
C Joey Hunt
DE Branden Jackson
S Shalom Luani
RB J.D. McKissic
WR David Moore
LS Tyler Ott
CB Kalan Reed
G Jordan Simmons
