Well-traveled cornerback Brandon Boykin will be traveling to a new NFL city.

D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Boykin will visit the Falcon on Monday.

A fourth-round draft pick of the Eagles in 2012, Philly traded him last year to the Steelers. Boykin barely contributed in one season with Pittsburgh, and he then signed with Carolina as a free agent.

Carolina’s decision to dump Boykin came only days after coach Ron Rivera explained that it would be impossible to fully assess the team’s rookie cornerbacks before they can engage in bump-and-run coverage and other contact drills at training camp. Apparently, they saw enough from Boykin to move on.

interesting. Now we know it isn't the coaching staff's decision. Ron wasn't too pleased about the Norman release either.

Free agent SCB Brandon Boykin will visit the Falcons on Monday.

Boykin was surprisingly released from the Panthers this week just two months into a deal which included an $80,000 signing bonus. Boykin excels on the field, but he has now been let go by three teams since last August. With Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford on the outside, Boykin would give Atlanta a potentially dominant corner group.

So this decision may have gone from bad to worse.

Funny. I remember hearing a recent broadcast and how Ron mentioned that Dave and Him worked together in releasing JNo. I can only assume they did the same for Boykin. Obvious they don't want to go through another Mike Mitchell contract with him.

Based on his interview this morning he was fully involved in the Norman process. Quit with this idiotic confirmation bias.

Lol go watch the predraft presser. I'd certainly imagine he's reversed course but he made it abundantly clear in the immediate wake that it was GM driven.

That's a hell of a corner group if they sign Boykin

Unless he's lying he made it very specifically clear that he was a part of both the Norman and Boykin decision making process during his pulse interview today.

Difference between "lying" and saying the right things to the press, especially after people publically took note after their original press conference.

 

 

Saying "we made a group decision" is the off season equivalent of "we just gotta take it one game at a time."

Yes, Rivera lied. Coaches do it all the time. It's better for him to lie and say he was part of the process instead of telling the truth that Gettleman just did it on his own.
