Just one day removed from Super Bowl 50 the Atlanta Falcons have parted ways with veteran strong safety William Moore and outside linebacker Justin Durant and are now in dire need of replacements.
The cutting of Moore doesn’t come as a surprise whatsoever. He was owed a large sum of money over the next two seasons and didn’t seem to fit in Dan Quinn’s style of defense.
Durant on the other hand was a slight surprise, but it gives the Falcons an extra million and some change to work with in free agency.
Both players were starters at their respective positions so the Falcons will have to be aggressive in free agency and in the draft in order to fill those holes.
