Falcons release receiver Bryan Edwards, sign Frank Darby

The Atlanta Falcons released wide receiver Bryan Edwards on Thursday, less than a year after acquiring him from the Las Vegas Raiders.

Edwards, 24, never seemed to find a role with the Falcons, appearing in seven games with three catches for 15 yards on five total targets. After Week 2, Edwards never played more than 15 snaps in a game for Atlanta and was a healthy scratch for four games.

This after Edwards began the season as a starting receiver for Atlanta and playing 47 percent of the snaps in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints.
