With rookies Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford primed to be the future tandem, Terrence Johnson will be on his way out. He hasn’t had a lot of things go his way in the NFL, and his time with the Falcons looks to be on track to end the same way.
The time will come for Cam Henderson…cutting time, that is. With the powerhouses already in place at defensive end—including rookies Stansly Maponga and Malliciah Goodman, Cam’s talents will hopefully be utilized with another NFL team.
With Dominique Davis improving his game and Sean Renfree more than holding his own, Seth Doege will end up on the chopping block. A necessary evil, yes…but the need won’t be there in the regular season.
This is the one that breaks my heart the most. Rookie linebacker Brian Banks is my favorite story of the year, and I’m not the only one. However, judging from the limited time he’s getting on the preseason game field, the cut is coming…and I can only imagine it’ll be the hardest one.
Tight end Colin Cloherty won’t make the cut for the Falcons, either. He made key mistakes in the game against the Baltimore Ravens, and with the depth already available—Tony Gonzalez, Chase Coffman and Levine Toilolo—there won’t be room for anything less than the best.
