Falcons Waive LB Mykal Walker

The Falcons have waived linebacker Mykal Walker, a former sixth-round pick, to make room for recent addition Frank Ginda. This roster move comes as a slight surprise as Walker had been a consistent rotational defender for the Falcons over his first two seasons in the NFL.
Walker's performance in the 2022 season saw a dip in quality, despite being given more opportunities as a starter. While he produced in terms of total tackles, interceptions, and passes defensed, he only graded out as the 55th best linebacker in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. This may have contributed to the Falcons' decision to move on from him.
The Falcons had already started to transition away from starting Walker before ultimately waiving him. He had been working behind Kaden Elliss and Troy Andersen, and the team was also experimenting with moving him back outside. Ultimately, the Falcons preferred other options at the linebacker position, leading to Walker falling down the depth chart. [ more ]

Falcons To Sign LB Frank Ginda

Ginda's impressive tackle numbers and defensive skills have been evident throughout his career. With his ability to produce on the field, he could potentially contribute as a rotational defender and special teams player in Atlanta.
The Seahawks have shown interest in Ginda and brought him in for a workout. This suggests that other teams view him as a potential asset and could increase his opportunities if he fails to secure a spot with the Falcons. [ more ]
