The Atlanta Falcons cut cornerback Asante Samuel and linebacker Stephen Nicolas on Wednesday.
Samuel, 33, had fallen into a backup role with the Falcons by the end of the year. His cut will clear over $4 million in cap space for the Falcons in 2014.
While the four-time Pro Bowlers best days are behind him there should be a few teams willing to add him for nickle coverage if the price is right.
The Falcons also cut linebacker Stephen Nicholas. In total the moves cleared roughly $7.5 million
