The Atlanta Falcons were expected to be key players in the cornerback market before the trade deadline, but managed to let a key opportunity pass them by. On Monday afternoon, Titans cornerback Roger McCreary was traded to the Los Angeles Rams, but was previously linked to the Dirty Birds.
This is not the first young DB Terry Fontenot has failed to engage on. Tyson Campbell and Greg Newsome were already moved, and more are expected to follow suit. But a big reason behind that is because of Dee Alford, who has been quietly playing some of the best football of his career as of late.
