One of the Philadelphia Eagles’ remaining unrestricted free agents might soon be finding a new NFL home.
Genard Avery visited the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, according to the league’s official transaction wire.
Avery was never viewed as especially likely to re-sign with Philly. It’s hardly like he was a standout as the Eagles’ SAM linebacker last season. Avery had one of the worst missed tackle rates among players at his position, according to Pro Football Focus.
Avery also became more expendable with the Eagles signing Haason Reddick, who figures to take some SAM linebacker snaps.
