The Falcons made not one, not two, but three trades just before the NFL trade deadline passed on Tuesday.
First, the team sent WR Calvin Ridley to Jacksonville. Then, Atlanta sent a conditional seventh-round pick to the Chiefs in exchange for CB Rashad Fenton.
Lastly, the Falcons closed the day out by trading backup safety Dean Marlowe to the Buffalo Bills for a seventh-round pick, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Full trade: The #Falcons are trading a conditional seventh-round pick to the #Chiefs for CB Rashad Fenton, per source. It's a cap-clearing move for Kansas City, which saves $1.4 million.

Marlowe has backed up Jaylinn Hawkins and Richie Grant, but hasn’t made much of an impact since signing with the Falcons over the offseason. On Sunday, Marlowe didn’t have a great game as the secondary got cooked by Panthers QB PJ Walker.
By trading Marlowe, Atlanta gets a seventh-round pick for a guy that wasn’t likely to play much this season.
