Don’t let the ATL board die!!
Really sad that Shaffer couldn’t make this roster, not only as a UGA fan but just makes me question the FO. Meanwhile Jamaree Salyer, who pretty much everyone knew outside of Flowery Branch was the better lineman, is a great value pick for the Chargers.

Falcons announce full list of 2022 roster cuts
Atlanta’s 53 man roster is now in place, though it won’t stay static for long.
quote:
Atlanta Falcons roster cuts have been trickling in all day, but the team just made the full list official. In total, they waived or cut 27 players to bring the roster in line with the maximum 53 player requirement.
I can’t imagine all of these decisions were easy, not that delivering bad news ever is. Caleb Huntley, Derrick Tangelo, MyCole Pruitt, and many others were impressive for at least stretches this summer, and the team’s depth certainly looked stronger in 2022 than it did a year ago.
Ultimately, the Falcons have to be hoping that they’ve nailed their decisions in terms of who to keep, that they’ll have the opportunity to add more talent soon, and that they can bring back players who impressed to the practice squad. We’re just going to have to wait a day (or more) to see some of that play out.
Below, you’ll find the complete list of cuts, which has several surprises. Tight end Anthony Firkser did not make the roster, securing rookie John FitzPatrick’s spot. Abdullah Anderson, Nick Thurman, and Darrion Daniels did not make it, pointing to the team’s plans to add more talent along the defensive line, but undrafted rookie Timothy Horne happily did. Safety Teez Tabor was a surprise cut given that he had played well and has the versatility you’d want in a final defensive back. Finally, Nick Kwiatkoski’s cut comes as a mild surprise, though I did think Nate Landman had a strong chance of overtaking him for a roster spot.

Ollison was surprising to me. Maybe it was between him or Fitzpatrick for a special teams spot?

We absolutely suck on the OLine and DLine. WR is pretty sad too. I think this is realistically a 6 win team.

I'd be ecstatic with 6 wins. I feel like this team got arguably worse/stayed stagnant while several around us improved, not only divisional opponents but the bottom 3rd of the NFL.
O/U is 5. Only team projected worse is Texans. Can't afford to miss on London, hope he and some of the other young ones start flashing or we could be in serious long-term trouble. I just don't see a good core... Luckily the cap gets friendlier and friendlier.

I'm really hoping for a bad year this year and we somehow land Will Anderson from Bama into our lap.
That guy seems like a good guy and can change a whole group of Dline/LB corps by himself.
Then again, I'd be excited with 8+ wins. But that's also draft purgatory, however, with a good FO, you can maximize everything.

Will Anderson
With all the QB hype in the upcoming draft, I could see hi slipping to 4 or 5.
That's about where I expect ATL to end up. Would be badass to land him.

Anderson and Jalen Carter will probably be the top two defensive players in the draft. I'd love to have either of them.
