The Atlanta Falcons today announced that they have waived cornerback Ricardo Allen, safety Sean Baker, wide receiver Jeremy Ebert, guard Harland Gunn, tackle Terren Jones, wide receiver Bernard Reedy, defensive tackle Travian Robertson, tight end Mickey Shuler, and linebacker Jacques Smith. The club has also reached an injury settlement with wide receiver Geraldo Boldewijn.
Allen was selected by the Falcons in the fifth round (147th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Purdue. He holds the school record with four interception returns for touchdowns to go with his 13 interceptions and 263 total tackles. Baker spent part of the 2013 season on the Falcons practice squad before being signed to the active roster for the season finale. Ebert was originally selected by the New England Patriots in the seventh round (235th overall) in the 2012 NFL draft and played in five games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013 and notched three receptions for 18 yards.
Gunn was signed by the Falcons in 2012 and played in three games as a reserve offensive guard during the 2013 season. Jones was signed by the Falcons as a college free agent on April 29, 2013. Reedy was signed by the Falcons as a college free agent out of Toledo on May 12, 2014. He hauled in 195 receptions for 2,743 yards with 23 touchdowns in four seasons for the Rockets.
Smith was signed by the Falcons as a college free agent out of Tennessee on May 12, 2014. He totaled 120 tackles (71 solo), 21.5 tackles for loss, 20 quarterback hits, five sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery in four seasons for the Volunteers and was a favorite on this year’s Hard Knocks for his never-back-down attitude.
Robertson was selected by the Falcons in the seventh round (249th overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft and played in 12 career games, logging five tackles (four solo).
Atlanta may build a 10-player practice squad beginning on Sunday, August 31.
