The Atlanta Falcons plan to release veteran cornerback Desmond Trufant this week after seven seasons, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
The move would clear $4.95 million of cap space. Trufant signed a five-year, $68.75-million extension with the Falcons in April 2017.
The 29-year-old played nine games in 2019 while recording a career-high four interceptions before suffering a season-ending broken forearm in Week 14.
The Falcons may look decidedly different than in 2019, as they've already moved on from defensive end Vic Beasley and are set to lose Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper during free agency.
