The Falcons have made half the moves they need to make before tomorrow’s deadline, cutting 11 players to get to 64.

The veterans among the early cuts were kicker Shayne Graham and tackle Bryce Harris, who spent three years with the Saints before joining the Falcons last year.

They also waived the following nine players: Defensive end Nordly Capi, tackle Laurence Gibson, defensive end Malliciah Goodman, defensive tackle Cory Johnson, cornerback Devonte Johnson, safety Damian Parms, offensive lineman Collin Rahrig, wide receiver Corey Washington, and linebacker Matt Wells.

Goodman was a 2013 fourth-rounder, for a team that has been looking for pass-rush options for years with little success.
