1) Paul Worrilow – LB

Paul Worrilow should be shaking in his boots because his playing time with the Atlanta Falcons just decreased a ton. It’s decreased so much that he might not even start and we haven’t even gotten into the dog days of summer yet.

Worrilow’s long-term replacement has been drafted so you can start the clock on his day’s in Atlanta. Odds are he will be around for the 2016 season but after that, you can kiss this man goodbye. And I really hope that you don’t because that would be weird.

Who is Worrilow’s replacement you ask? His name is Deion Jones and he is as hungry as ever to get out on the field and put in work. Jones may not be ready to take over as a full-time starter as a rookie but give him a year with split playing time at the position and that will be enough to cut him loose in 2017.
