The Facts: The Falcons are suddenly short on tight ends. The team announced the release of Stocker, adding him to a discard pile which includes Devonta Freeman, Desmond Trufant, and Ty Sambrailo.

Diehards Line: The 31-year-old Stocker was signed last year, giving them some versatility at the position. Along with the departure of free agent Austin Hooper for a lucrative deal with the Browns minutes into the negotiating window, the Falcons are thin at the position, with just Jaeden Graham and Carson Meier (a couple of undrafted free agents) on the depth chart.
