NFL rumors: Are Atlanta Falcons a likely landing spot for ex-New England Patriots DT Dominique Easley?

Nine days since his release, former New England Patriots first-round pick Dominique Easley has yet to find a new NFL home.

According to The Boston Herald, Easley will likely wait for the draft to play out and then take visits to any teams that are interested.

One potential suitor: The Atlanta Falcons. Easley's defensive coordinator at Florida, Dan Quinn, is the team's head coach.

"He is a fantastic competitor," Quinn said, via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Honestly, a guy I have great history with. We've talked since he's been released. We'll kind of leave it there.
