In news nobody even remotely expected, the Falcons have waived Joe Hawley.
The Falcons have waived presumed starting center and fan favorite Joe Hawley.
The move comes on the heels of the team acquiring center Gino Gradkowski off waivers from Denver. The options for the team are currently to start James Stone or Mike Person or throw Gradkowski in as the starter. The thought, however, of throwing a brand new player in as the starting center and expecting them to call protections in a complex scheme is a bit troubling.
Hawley played in 57 games for the Falcons over the course of five seasons.
