A list of players that stood out to me that were cut. Not saying the Falcons should sign any of these guys, but some of these are former draft picks, some are priority UDFAs, some are former starters or role players. But here's a list of names that jumped out to me:

Joselio Hanson would have been an ideal signing to sure up the nickel. I thought Ghee would have had enough talent to make the Bengals. I wonder who they are going to get to replace JPW as the developmental project.........Pat Devlin?

It would be so exciting to see the Falcons make a move for Brandon Meriweather....

Meriweather

Marlin Jackson would be a much smarter signing if the Falcons are trying to add a cover safety.

I'd like to see the Falcons look at a DT like Tommie Harris or Derek Landri. And while I know it'll be a cold day in hell before the Falcons pick up another WR. Justin Gage would fit our condensed offense and add a good vertical threat. His hands are iffy, but he's basically Michael Jenkins with better body control. If the Falcons actually cared about making plays down the field, he would be a smart pickup to work as the No. 4 receiver as a much better inside/outside option than Kerry F. Meier.

As a No. 4 DE if the Falcons are looking for someone that can produce as a pass rusher RIGHT NOW, Stylez White and Jacob Ford would be much better options than Sid or Matthews.
