Falcons release guard Brandon Fusco

After signing three guards in free agency and selecting another in last week’s NFL draft, the Falcons released offensive guard Brandon Fusco on Monday.

Fusco signed a three-year, $12.75 million contract before the 2018 season and started the opener at right guard.

The Falcons signed James Carpenter, Jamon Brown and Adam Gettis in free agency. They selected Chris Lindstrom with the 14th overall pick in the first round of last week’s draft.
