In the first real shocking roster move of training camp, the Atlanta Falcons have released Jamon Brown, who was one of the team’s major free agent signings just a year ago.
Brown was initially brought in to compete for a starting guard job but ended up falling behind in the competition in 2019. He had mixed success when he got in games last year, and came into this year hoping for better. Between a stint on the non-football injury list and the concussion protocol, that opportunity never materialized. The Falcons have thus opted to go their separate ways and admit Brown as a sunk cost in regard to his cap hit, releasing him and giving him a chance of catching on with another team before the season starts.
