Around SBN: Terry Collins, David Wright, And The Mets/Brewers Kerfuffle

Falcons cut D.J. Shockley

by Leon07 on Sep 5, 2009 1:29 PM EDT

According to profootballtalk.com:

"Quarterback D.J. Shockley, the one-time Georgia star who's been with the Falcons since 2006, has been released by the team, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

After toiling as the third QB in 2006, Shockley blew out his knee before the 2007 season and missed that year. He beat out Joey Harrington for the No. 3 spot last year but John Parker Wilson, an undrafted rookie from Alabama, beat Shockley out. Given the extended play Wilson got last Thursday when he was the second man in after starter Matt Ryan, Shockley's release was looming.

Atlanta needs to lop a dozen more players to get to 53."
