A pair of veteran defenders with solid resumes have hit the market in early June. Former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt and Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander are the first big-name players to fall victim to the post-June 1 deadline.
The Atlanta Falcons didn’t make any drastic roster improvements at cornerback. They brought back almost everyone from last year, and UDFA Cobee Bryant was their most notable rookie addition. At inside linebacker, the team added Devine Deablo for $7M over two years, but that contract shouldn’t deter them from an upgrade for the right price.
