With this statement, the Atlanta Falcons have closed one of the most curious relationships between this franchise and a player we can remember. Just a year ago, the Falcons believed that Vic could be the guy that they drafted him to be and after a slow start to 2019, he ended the season with eight sacks and there was the belief that was good enough to bring him back.
This is a bitter-sweet separation of player and franchise. No, Beasley was not an all-time great, however, he was a Georgia born and raised kid who on draft night wore Atlanta Falcons colors hoping the franchise he grew up cheering for would call his name.
