Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant is a controversial figure. If he were the CB2 making significantly less money, he’d be a fan favorite. Because he’s the CB1 and gets paid like a top ten cornerback, the situation is different. It is what it is.
There’s a healthy contingent within the Falcons fan base that wants Trufant gone. But does that make sense? Is cutting him in the coming days something the Falcons are actually considering? Short answer: No. Absolutely not.
Trufant signed a 5 year, $69 million extension before the 2017 season.
