One season after signing a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons, offensive lineman Jamon Brown was released by the team on Monday.

The Falcons revamped their offensive line prior to the 2019 season, signing Brown and James Carpenter, while drafting Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary in the first round of last year’s draft.
Brown, 27, had just returned to the team from the NFL’s concussion list. He was likely to be a backup this season to Chris Lindstrom and James Carpenter, so his release isn’t a total surprise.
Atlanta drafted versatile offensive lineman Matt Hennessy in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and the rookie has been playing left guard with the first-team offense over the past week.
