Milloy and Falcons Go Seperate Ways

Lawyer Milloy, the starter at safety the last 3 seasons in Atlanta has been released from the team. His agent Todd France, met with the team in Indianapolis at the Scouting combine and was informed of the decision.

“We did meet in Indianapolis and at this point it’s in his best interest to explore other opportunities,” said France.

Milloy started 48 of 49 games in three seasons with Atlanta. He provided guidance and strong leadership to a young secondary last season.

“We felt as an organization that it was in the best interests of both parties to go in our own directions and let him test the market in free agency,” Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff said Sunday. “We feel that Lawyer has been a significant contributor to the Falcons organization both on and off the field. We are very proud to have had him involved here. We wish him all of the best in his future career in football and life outside of football.”

Milloy, 35, was selected in the second round (36th overall) in the 1996 draft by the New England Patriots. He played seven seasons with the Patriots and three with the Buffalo Bills before signing with Atlanta in 2006.
