Former Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Allen Bailey found himself released by the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, per ESPN reporter Adam Schefter. The move means that Bailey is free to sign with any team as a vested veteran.
The Falcons, who also released cornerback Ricardo Allen as well, first signed Bailey to a two-year contract worth $10.5 million back in the summer of 2019.
