Kurt Benkert Released By Falcons
6 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons released quarterback Kurt Benkert during their roster cut down on Saturday. Benkert had every opportunity to push for a roster spot as the Falcons third QB. However, Benkert has managed to play himself out of a roster spot this preseason. Benkert's numbers from the four preseason games were 28 completions on 64 passing attempts with 347 yards, zero touchdowns and four interceptions. Benkert's preseason performance has all but prevented him from being offered a backup job anywhere else in the league. Therefore, his best chance of a future in the league lies on the Falcons practice squad.
