Falcons sign LB Daveren Rayner in flurry of roster moves following rookie camp

The Atlanta Falcons have been busy reshaping their roster following rookie minicamp, announcing a series of moves on Monday that bring fresh talent to the team while parting ways with four players. In a flurry of transactions, the Falcons signed defensive tackle Ross Blacklock, offensive lineman Brandon Walton, guard Layden Robinson, and linebacker Daveren Rayner.

Blacklock, Walton, and Robinson are seasoned veterans who impressed during tryouts at the team's rookie minicamp, showcasing the depth and experience the Falcons are looking to add. Meanwhile, Rayner, an undrafted free agent out of Kentucky, brings the kind of versatility that defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich values in his linebacker corps. Known for his ability to adapt to different defensive schemes, Rayner could be a sleeper addition worth watching as training camp approaches.

To make room for these new faces, the Falcons released undrafted tight end Brandon Frazier, running back Carlos Washington Jr., wide receiver Deven Thompkins, and defensive tackle Ben Stille. Frazier had only recently joined the team after the draft, while Washington, Thompkins, and Stille were holdovers from last season's squad. These moves signal the Falcons' commitment to refining their roster as they build toward the upcoming season.

For fans tracking the team's progress, the Falcons' updated roster is now available, arranged by position group. Whether you're gearing up for game day or just staying informed, these changes highlight the constant evolution of an NFL team in the off-season.
