Falcons Unlikely To Remain At No. 6

Oct 6, 2014 8:02 PM

The Atlanta Falcons appear increasingly less likely to remain at No. 6 in the 2014 NFL Draft.

The Falcons are considering the possibility of moving all the way up to No. 1 to draft Jadeveon Clowney.

Talks between the Falcons and Houston Texans have not begun, however.

The Falcons could also consider moving down since the top-10 is considered strong.

Jadeveon Clowney To Run Drills For Falcons

Jul 2, 2014 6:21 AM

Jadeveon Clowney visited with the Atlanta Falcons on Wednesday and will run drills for the team on Friday.

The source said it is "not really a workout," however.

The Falcons own the sixth overall pick, but they could trade up as they did in 2011 for Julio Jones.

Thomas Dimitroff spoke highly of Clowney back in February.

"Obviously, he is an incredible talent with wild upside," Dimitroff said. "He's going to be a very big contributor on a football team from day one. We all know that. The league knows that. He has the potential to be one of the marquee-type pass-rushers."

Falcons Sign Rafael Bush To Offer Sheet

Oct 30, 2014 12:03 PM

The Atlanta Falcons have signed Rafael Bush to an offer sheet as they look to replace Thomas DeCoud at safety.

The Saints tendered Bush at the lowest level in March, which means they will receive no compensation if they decide not to match his offer sheet.

Over 13 games and six starts, Bush recorded 45 tackles, six pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in his third season.
