The Atlanta Falcons have released 28-year old safety Erik Coleman.  Coleman played in 12 games for the Falcons last season and he had 20 tackles.  He played in 44 games in parts of three years with the Falcons and he had 231 tackles, 11 passes defensed, 4 forced fumbles and 3 interceptions.  The Falcons phased Coleman out of the defense last season so they shouldn’t miss him too much going forward.
