[Darius Hayes @dhayessports37]

The #Falcons are expected to turn to Corey Levin at center for the remainder of the season following the Ryan Neuzil trade.

Levin has seven career NFL starts and now faces a big opportunity to step into the starting role for Atlanta.

[Darius Hayes @dhayessports37]

STUNNING MOVE:

Neuzil has been a key piece of #Falcons offensive line making this a huge surprise as the Falcons shake up their roster at the buzzer. Ryan Neuzil was on the final year of an expiring contract.

[Darius Hayes @dhayessports37]

Falcons GM Ian Cunningham has famously said this offseason: "I love picks, man."

The #Falcons' trade deadline moves reflect that:

By Trading Jessie Bates lll and Ryan Neuzil, Cunningham appears intent on building this roster for the future rather than short-term fixes.
