6 surprising players the Atlanta Falcons could end up cutting

There are numerous players on the Atlanta Falcons roster that could be cut unexpectedly

Every year you see players get cut from teams that you never would have expected and while it has not exactly happened with the Atlanta Falcons in recent memory, it does not mean it won’t happen this year.

In fact, I would almost expect one of the players on this list to be released. Each situation varies, but we will go through the reasoning for each.

We will be going over six different players who fans would not expect to be cut, but could end up being on their way out.

Let’s get right into it starting with a former Pro Bowl defender who may not get another chance with the Falcons:

The Atlanta Falcons may end up cutting linebacker Deion Jones

This one may not shock all the Atlanta Falcons fans out there because there has been a lot of talk surrounding the former Pro Bowl linebacker.

Deion Jones used to be one of the best linebackers in the game. Key words being used to be.

He fell off a cliff over the past couple of years, add in the fact that he has been injured and had to learn a new scheme last year, and it starts to become clear as to why he took a downward spiral.

This new regime has proven they are not afraid to cut ties with expensive veterans, which is exactly what Deion Jones is. They drafted Troy Anderson and brought in Rashaan Evans for a reason. They are not counting on Debo anymore, especially considering there were rumors that they were trying to trade him before he ended up on the PUP list.

Add in the fact that they also have Nick Kwiatkowski, Dorian Etheridge, and Nate Landman, Deion might be sweating just a little bit. Keep a special eye on Nate Landman, he received a ton of snaps in the first preseason game and was extremely impressive.
