Falcons make final cuts to set 53-man roster for opener
ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons cut former first-round pick Laquon Treadwell and two quarterbacks Saturday as they got down to the 53-man roster limit for the regular season.
Treadwell was the 23rd overall choice of the Vikings in 2016, but has yet to make much of an impact in the NFL. He played in 53 games with Minnesota, including 16 starts, and had 65 catches for 701 yards and two touchdowns before the team let him go after four seasons.
Treadwell signed with the Falcons in March.
“Although my time here was short it definitely was worth it,” Treadwell wrote on Twitter. “Great team, great city, great coaches! Take all my loses like a man."
