Source: Falcons put LB Vic Beasley on trade block

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons pass rusher Vic Beasley is on the trade block, a source told ESPN on Sunday.

The former 2015 first round draft pick from Clemson has not been the same player since leading the league with 15.5 sacks in 2016. Beasley's production has steadily declined. He entered Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams with just 1.5 sacks.

Attempts to reach Beasley by phone over the weekend for comment were unsuccessful.

Beasley has been the target of outside criticism, but Falcons coach Dan Quinn initially stayed committed to the former eighth overall pick.
