A player on the Atlanta Falcons that deserves to get cut right away is strong safety William Moore and here’s why. With the amount of missed time Moore has spent over the last couple of years and the large sum of money he is set to make, why keep him around. It’s basically wasting money.

Moore is owed $6.4 million in 2016 and $8.6 million in 2017. That is just too much money to toss to a player that is very injury prone at this point in his career. While age isn’t necessarily the reason behind him possibly getting cut, it’s his sub-par play on the field that is a big part of it.

Moore is a very poor tackler and takes a lot of bad angles of the course of a  game. The Falcons have a very young secondary and are being held back by Moore’s lack of play and lack of skill. Those are harsh words to say, but someone has to say it.
