DeCoud remains a candidate to be released by the Falcons for salary cap purposes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

The Falcons have already cut Asante Samuel, Stephen Nicholas and Garrett Reynolds for the same reason and DeCoud could be next. Cutting the 28-year-old safety would save the Falcons $3 million. DeCoud recorded 65 tackles in 15 games this past season, his sixth campaign with Atlanta.
