Trading players away



Surprisingly, the Falcons traded Eric Saubert when it became clear that he wasnt long for the roster picking up a 7th in the process. What other players could also be traded before the regular season starts?

1. Brian Hill/Ito Smith: Suddenly this offseason we have a logjam at running back. We'll get a real sense of where Freeman in this upcoming game but early reports are saying he's healthy and looks sharp. That doesnt spark confidence for guys who could be looking at bigger roles. Ollison was the heir apparent to Hill but now Hill seems to be highly contentious of Ito for backup runningback. What an awesome preseason so far for Hill. So would it make sense to trade either him or Ito? Ito hasn't had a great amount of opportunities but could easily be dealt for probably a 4th if the Falcons move on from him.

2. Deadrin Senat. Why is he a 3rd stringer? Senat brings good pressure up the middle and needs to be coached up but for some reason he's lower than Justin Zimmer currently for preseason game 2. Maybe he doesnt fit into the long term plans?

3. Duke Riley. If anybody needs a show out game this preseason its Riley. He's been hampered and probably shouldn't be traded for but on a team like Denver who love their linebackers, Riley could get a bit of resurgence.

4. Mohammed Sanu. Plain and simple he does cost a bit, Ridley is ready to take over his role and he's one of the best no. 2 we have had since Roddy. There were murmurings of the FO asking him to take a pay cut but Sanu declined, so he sould effectively be s cap casualty.
