The Falcons have cut TE Martrez Milner who was beaten out for a job by Justin Peelle and Ben Hartsock which doesn’t speak well for him.  He did not get into a game this season for the Falcons.  Milner played in 8 games (2 starts) for the Falcons as a rookie last season and he caught 9 passes for 50 yards (5.6 avg).  Maybe the Falcons should have looked outside the state for a TE last April.

The Falcons have signed 25-year old safety Jamaal Fudge.  Fudge played in 14 games (0 starts) for the Jaguars last season and he made 9 tackles, defensed 2 passes and had 1 interception.  Fudge will likely get most of his playing time for the Falcons on special teams in 2008.  Fudge has now played in 20 games (0 starts) in his NFL career and he has made 13 tackles, has defensed 2 passes and has 1 interception.

The Falcons have acquired 25-year old CB Domonique Foxworth from the Broncos for a undisclosed 2009 NFL Draft Pick.  Foxworth played in 14 games (6 starts) for the Broncos last season and he made 42 tackles and defensed 5 passes.  But, Foxworth is a talented back who should help out the Falcons secondary.  He has now played in 46 games (18 starts) in his NFL career and he has made 173 tackles, has defensed 24 passes and he has picked off 3 passes.

The Falcons have signed RB Kenneth Darby to the practice squad.  Darby carried the football 32 times in the preseason for the Buccaneers and he rushed for 102 yards (3.2 ypc).  Darby has only played in 1 NFL game in his career and in that game he carried the ball 2 times for 9 yards (4.5 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 16 yards (8.0 avg).  This was a nice little low risk move for the Falcons.

The Falcons have signed TE Justin Peelle after he was recently released by the Dolphins.  Peelle caught 4 passes in the preseason for the Dolphins covering 39 yards (9.8 avg).  Peelle has played in 93 games in his NFL career and he has caught 85 passes for 614 yards (7.2 avg) with 7 TD grabs.  This was another solid addition to the TE corps of the Falcons.
