Twitter was in a mild uproar last night over reports saying the Seattle Seahawks will not pick up the fifth-year option on linebacker Bruce Irvin. Now we're hearing an even bigger rumor: the Atlanta Falcons might be interested in trading for Irvin.
Pro Football Talk reported the rumor late last night, citing "chatter has already emerged" about the possibility. Mike Florio hasn't been the most credible when it comes to Falcons rumors (i.e. Noisegate), so we're not sure how much truth there is to this one. One source in Seattle already refuted the idea.
