Toniu Fonoti released by Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons also released guard Toniu Fonoti, a former second-round pick of the San Diego Chargers who was attempting to salvage his career. "He's a vet, and if he's going to make it with a team, he needs to be let go now so he's got a chance to hook on with somebody else," McKay said. "We just kind of liked what we've seen from [Justin] Blalock, and we've liked what we've seen from the guys behind Blalock."
