As comes with the NFL, you never know when a surprise could fall in your lap. Friday morning, a bit of a shock landed regarding a former Atlanta Falcons defensive end.
Thank you @Patriots for my time with the organization. I gained so much respect for how you do things and win championships. It’s done the right way through hard work. Thank you for granting my release. I’m ready for this next chapter.

Letting Clayborn walk to the Patriots was one of Atlanta’s sincere blunders in 2018, a contract we all know they would’ve loved to have brokered in retrospect.
