He spent six seasons in Atlanta, totaling 204 tackles (147 solo), 10 sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries and six passes defensed in 95 career games.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This move had been speculated by several sites.  Chauncey will be picked up by someone; doubt he will miss a check.<\/p>\n<p>The Sunday cuts included <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlantafalcons.com\/2011\/09\/falcons-get-roster-to-53\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.atlantafalcons.com\/2011\/09\/falcons-get-roster-to-53\/', 'John Parker Wilson');\" target=\"_blank\">John Parker Wilson<\/a>, which according to <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/blog\/nfcsouth\/post\/_\/id\/24514\/atlanta-falcons-cutdown-analysis\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/espn.go.com\/blog\/nfcsouth\/post\/_\/id\/24514\/atlanta-falcons-cutdown-analysis', 'Pat Yasinskas');\" target=\"_blank\">Pat Yasinskas<\/a> (ESPN NFL South blog) was a surprise.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Wilson could end up back on the practice squad, but this move shows the Falcons aren\u2019t all that high on him. They might be better off looking for a developmental prospect to put on the practice squad. Ryan\u2019s secure as the starter for a long time, but Redman is nothing more than a career backup. It might be time for the Falcons to start developing a new backup.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not sure why this was a surprise; I wrote about this possibility a couple of weeks ago.  Developing QBs normally get three years to push out the backups.  JPW may have only received two, but I like the fact that Falcons may be moving on if they don\u2019t see JPW as a viable backup QB.  My guess is he ends up on the practice squad unless the Falcons find someone they really like better.  Either way, his days in ATL are numbered.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No huge surprises as the Falcons trimmed their roster down to 53 players on Sat and Sun.
