Falcons still searching at linebacker after start of free agency

Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn emphasized the line of scrimmage on the first day of free agency by adding three-time Pro Bowl center Alex Mack, re-signing pass-rusher Adrian Clayborn and luring defensive end Derrick Shelby from Miami.

The Falcons also have a No. 2 wide receiver-in-waiting with former Cincinnati Bengal Mohamed Sanu in town for a visit.

So what's next for the Falcons? How about an inside linebacker?

The Falcons don't have a middle or weakside linebacker on the roster. They parted ways with arguably their best linebacker, Justin Durant, because of injury concerns.
