The Falcons had the fourth-highest priority for waiver claims, and with hundreds of players being cut leaguewide, they figured to claim somebody. Now we have a name, as the Falcons claimed guard Colby Gossett off waivers from the Browns.
The 26-year-old Gossett was a 6th round pick by Minnesota back in 2018, and he started four games in that initial season after being cut and landing with the Cardinals. He’s since bounced around, spending time with the Patriots and then landing with the Browns in 2019. Gossett opted out of the 2020 NFL season, one of several players to elect not to play in a year where the COVID-19 pandemic was sweeping the world.
