Newly released CB Malcolm Butler could be on Falcons’ radar

There’s no question that the Atlanta Falcons need help in the secondary, particularly now that there is only one safety on the roster. The cornerback group has a bit more going for it with 2020 first-round pick A.J. Terrell, improving 2018 second-round pick Isaiah Oliver and potential-laden 2019 fourth-round pick Kendell Sheffield in-house already, but none of those players are proven high-end starters in this league.

Terrell cemented himself as the team’s top corner going ahead, Oliver performed admirably in the slot last season after struggling to play on the outside and Sheffield has flashed some inspired play at times between his youthful struggles, so all three should have roles.
