The Falcons made several cuts Friday, and some were at least mildly surprising. Most were not. The team must, per NFL rules, whittle down to the roster to just 53 players by 4 p.m. today, so there are definitely 14 more cuts coming throught the day. We'll keep a running list in this post, so check back often for updates.
On Friday, the Falcons parted ways with both T.J. Yates and Rex Grossman. The latter was mildly surprising after the team signed Grossman barely one week ago. Tackle Jake Rodgers, a seventh-round draft pick in 2015, was cut, but I still expect the team to stash him on the practice squad.
