Falcons to let trade deadline pass quietly
The Falcons will not be active in the trade market and plan to let the 4 p.m. Tuesday deadline pass without making a major move, according to coach Dan Quinn.
“(General manager) Thomas (Dimitroff) and I certainly discuss options and obviously he fields calls for our team,” Quinn said on Monday. “(He also fields calls) other teams, people that reach out, but we really feel that this team that we have and where we are at and how we can go and attack from here, we’ve got the right men in the building to do that.”
The Falcons have suffered several injuries to key members of the defense this season.
