Falcons Won't Retain Vic Beasley
5 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons announced that they will not try to re-sign impending free-agent outside linebacker Vic Beasley. He was the eighth overall pick in the 2015 draft and led the league in sacks with 15.5 in 2016. However, he fell off drastically after that with just five sacks in both 2017 and 2018. Beasley finished with eight sacks in 2019. He finishes his Atlanta tenure with 156 tackles, 37.5 sacks, 36 tackles for loss, 11 forced fumbles and two touchdowns in 60 games. The Falcons had only 28 sacks in 2019, which were the second-fewest in the NFL, so they'll be looking to beef up their pass rush in the draft or free agency. Beasley could be productive with another team in the right scheme, but his sophomore season might've been the best we'll ever see from him.
