Falcons Sign Two UDFAs, Waive Three
After their three-day minicamp concluded earlier today, the Falcons have made several roster moves, adding a couple of players while subtracting three others:
Signed:
- Matt Huffler, T, South Dakota
- Jonathan Mincy, DB, Auburn
Waived:
- Chris Brown, DT, Tarleton State
- Jordan Ozerities, CB, Central Florida
- Joshua Stangby, WR, Ottawa
The three players who were waived were all recently signed as undrafted free agents, so this series of moves constitutes some back-end roster shuffling as Atlanta adds two more UDFAs. The Falcons also signed three of their draft picks this morning, and now have five of seven draft selections under contract.
Falcons To Sign 19 Undrafted FAs
The Falcons announced today in a press release that they’ve agreed to terms with 19 undrafted free agents, the largest UDFA class yet among those that have been officially confirmed.
