The Falcons did most of their work yesterday, and the moves they made Saturday to get to the final 53-man roster were not major.
The team announced they released cornerback Ricardo Allen, safety Sean Baker, wide receiver Jeremy Ebert, guard Harland Gunn, tackle Terren Jones, wide receiver Bernard Reedy, defensive tackle Travian Robertson, tight end Mickey Shuler, and linebacker Jacques Smith. The reached an injury settlement with wide receiver Geraldo Boldewijn.
The moves leave them with just two tight ends (Levine Toilolo and Bear Pascoe), and after the retirement of Tony Gonzalez, that’s probably an area they’re going to need to add to.
