Ian Rapoport, one of the most plugged-in guys in the NFL, has reported that the Falcons received trade offers for pass-rusher Vic Beasley before the deadline on Tuesday. They didn’t pull the trigger on any of those, and decided to stick with the former first-round pick out of Clemson, however.

To put it bluntly, Beasley hasn’t been good this season — he’s registered one sack, has just six tackles (and only one in the past month) and has hit the opposing quarterback just three times despite having “rush the passer” as the premier statement of his job description.
