Falcons add OL Barry Wesley, S Lukas Davis amidst flurry of signings

Atlanta’s continuing to stock the roster coming out of rookie minicamp.

The Falcons are re-making the bottom of the roster following rookie minicamp, with five reported signings in the past two days. We’ve yet to see it official from the team—and thus we haven’t seen the five corresponding moves to ensure the Falcons stay in compliance with the 90 man roster limit.

Today, they added two of those players in the form of XFL offensive lineman Barry Wesley and former Buccaneers and XFL safety Lukas Denis.

We’ll start with Wesley, who stands 6’7” and is fresh off five games as a starter for the Seattle SeaDragons. As you’d expect from a player the Falcons are interesting in, Wesley is a good athlete and boasts some versatility, having cross-trained in college at four of five positions along the offensive line. In Atlanta, he’ll join what’s expected to be a fierce battle for five or four reserve roles, and his versatility can only help him land one.

Denis had a stint with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent before excelling for the St. Louis Battlehawks in the XFL, showing the kind of ballhawking skill this defense could always use more of. The team’s depth chart at safety is far from settled after Richie Grant, Jessie Bates, and Jaylinn Hawkins, and Denis will be in the mix for a spot if he hangs on this summer.

Give both warm welcomes to Atlanta and we’ll what moves are coming next.
