The Falcons have a long bye week, so they are definitely going to be slow considering everything surrounding Arthur Blank, Dan Quinn, and Tuesday’s trade deadline.
Just kidding, they are already making cuts. Former Patriots quarterback Danny Etling and former Eagles cornerback are no longer Falcons. Their replacements have yet to be named.
There’s only so much we can say about both Etling and White without getting too emotional. I’ll let Elton John take it from here in his classic Candle in the Wind.
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
We will miss both Etling and White, who are saving me a little time by both being active once but not otherwise playing on offense or defense.
