    Falcons acquired LG Andy Levitre from the Titans.

    Good job by Titans GM Ruston Webster to find someone to take on Levitre's contract AND get something in return. Levitre was signed to a six-year, $46.8 million contract in 2013 but wasn't a fit in coach Ken Whisenhunt's offense. He was replaced at left guard by fellow veteran Byron Bell. Levitre is still just 29 and had a ton of success in Buffalo before Tennessee. Going back to a zone-blocking scheme like Falcons OC Kyle Shanahan's should help a lot. Levitre should step right into the lineup ahead of Mike Person. The rest of the Falcons' line: LT Jake Matthews, C Joe Hawley, RG Chris Chester, RT Ryan Schraeder.

    And just like that, Jurrell Casey will break the Titans sack record in week 7.

    Gonna guess a 4th or 5th. The cap saved isnt worth less I dont think.

    I really doubt it's that high. Conditional 6th or 7th is way more likely. He was gonna get cut.

    I'd be happy with anything honestly. Even if this means we keep McBride on the final roster.

    Glad he is gone! Curious to hear what they gave for him although I don't expect much! It would be funny if he went there and played well but it obviously wasn't going to happen here so I'm glad he is gone!
