"Assessing the Fallout: Jack Jones' Arrest and Potential Free Agent Targets for the Patriots"

With Jack Jones' uncertain future in New England, the Patriots may need to add depth at cornerback. Four free agent options include Marcus Peters, Fabian Moreau, Eli Apple, and Casey Hayward. Peters has injury concerns and may have competition from the Raiders, while Moreau played well for the Giants last season. Apple has playoff experience but may not be a culture fit for the Patriots. Hayward was released by the Falcons and is still available, though he's not the player he once was.

Falcons Cut Casey Hayward, Saving $5 Million in Cap Space.

The Atlanta Falcons have released cornerback Casey Hayward with a failed physical designation halfway through the two-year deal he signed with the club last season. By releasing Hayward, who grew up in Georgia, the Falcons are saving $5 million in cap space while incurring a $2 million dead cap hit from his signing bonus when the team brought him in last year. With Hayward's release, Jeff Okudah will become the pre-draft favorite to start opposite A.J. Terrell at corner for the Falcons.

Atlanta Falcons Cut Ties with Veteran Cornerback Casey Hayward.

The Atlanta Falcons have released cornerback Casey Hayward, saving $5 million against the cap and leaving a $2 million dead-money charge. Hayward played in just six games for the Falcons, recording one interception and three passes defensed while starting across from A.J. Terrell.

Falcons Cut Ties with Veteran CB Casey Hayward.

The Atlanta Falcons have released veteran cornerback Casey Hayward after just one season with the team. Hayward, who is entering his 12th NFL season, will now be looking for his fifth professional franchise. The Falcons will move on with A.J. Terrell, Okudah, Hughes, and others on the back end, with the potential to add to its "really strong" defense with seven picks in next week's draft.

Falcons' Jeff Okudah trade shakes up Lions' cornerback group.

The Atlanta Falcons have a crowded cornerback group with 12 players under contract, including recent addition Jeff Okudah. A.J. Terrell is the only certainty to start, but Okudah, Casey Hayward, and Mike Hughes are strong candidates for the other two starting jobs. The team may choose to let everyone compete for roles and keep a deep group, but Hayward's future is uncertain. Dee Alford, Cornell Armstrong, and Darren Hall are also in the mix for reserve roles. The Falcons may not have clarity on their cornerback group until after the NFL Draft.
