Ex-Falcons Vick, Umenyiora and DeCoud still available
FLOWERY BRANCH -- With training camps set to open around the league soon, a few former Atlanta Falcons are listed among the top free agents still available.
Michael Vick is listed by NFL.com's Marc Sessler as the top quarterback without a team. He was shaky as a backup last season for the Jets.
On the defensive list, defensive end Osi Umenyiora was not re-signed after getting 2.5 sacks last season. He wants to continue playing, but may be done.
Free safety Thomas DeCoud was an alternate Pro Bowler in 2012. After being released by the Falcons, he played in 11 games for Carolina last season.
Offensive guard Evan Mathis and left tackle Sam Baker was listed. Mathis has to be the unsigned free agent.
Tight end Jermaine Gresham makes sense for the Falcons to pursue. He's been linked to New Orleans and Arizona. The former Bengals starter is coming off herniated disc surgery in March.
