Falcons Ex Dean Marlowe Cut by Bills

The Buffalo Bills are cutting former Atlanta Falcons safety Dean Marlowe ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline.

On the darkest day in the NFL calendar, a former member of the Atlanta Falcons was given his pink slip Tuesday morning.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Buffalo Bills are cutting veteran defensive back Dean Marlowe.

The Falcons traded veteran Marlowe to the Bills in exchange for a 2023 seventh-round draft pick ahead of the 2022 trade deadline.

Marlowe received his first start of the season in a 37-34 victory over the Carolina Panthers and played every snap, as regular starting safety Jaylinn Hawkins was out due to concussion protocol.

The game marked Marlowe's first extensive action of the season, and while he totaled a respectable four tackles, it wasn't all seamless, as he was one of two Atlanta defenders who allowed the Hail Mary to Panthers receiver D.J. Moore before the end of regulation.

After signing with the Falcons in 2022, Marlowe played in eight games, making 11 tackles while seeing extensive action on special teams.

Marlowe spent three seasons (2018-2020) earlier in his career. It was there where Marlowe received his first career start and found his footing in the NFL.

In his time with the Bills last season, Marlowe played in four games and recorded three tackles.

Now, the 31-year-old will look for a new NFL home.
