Falcons Cut Fred Gibson

This is really surprising to me. Apparently, I'm not the only one that is surprised. Steve Wyche had this to say in the AJC.

In a surprising development, the Falcons released wide receiver Fred Gibson on Saturday, just three days into training camp. Gibson, who was signed as a free agent in February, had positioned himself to make the roster during off season workouts but was told this morning he was cut.

When you read Wyche's whole article, it sounds like several things contributed to this. Gibson missed a meeting, and he says he has been sick.
