Falcons released DE Allen Bailey.

The move saves the Falcons $4.5 million against the cap. He and DB Ricardo Allen were both obvious cap casualties with Atlanta entering the offseason 30th in cap space. Bailey, 34, will be settling for a backup job if he chooses to continue playing. He spent eight years with the Chiefs before playing his last two in Atlanta. The Falcons will be making a few more cuts before free agency.

Falcons signed DL Allen Bailey to a one-year, $4.5 million extension through 2021.

Bailey gets a $3.25 million signing bonus up front, and the deal creates some 2020 cap space for the Falcons. Bailey, 33 today, received plus marks from Pro Football Focus for both his run defense and pass-rush push on 511 defensive snaps last season.

Falcons signed DE Allen Bailey, formerly of the Chiefs, to a two-year, $10.5 million contract.

The deal includes $3.5 million guaranteed. Bailey will reunite with new Falcons assistant Bob Sutton, who he played under with the Chiefs in notching a league-high four fumble recoveries and career-high six sacks just last year. Despite those outlier marks, his upside is that of a rotational player at this point in his career. Bailey turned 30 in March.

DL Glenn Dorsey was taken to the locker room in a cart following a leg injury he suffered during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Eagles.

We guess no news is good news, as normally a serious injury will be accompanied by a report of some kind. If Dorsey does miss time, rookie DL Allen Bailey will be first up to fill the void.

The Chiefs are expected to give second-year DE Allen Bailey an expanded role this season behind LE Tyson Jackson and RE Glenn Dorsey.

With Wallace Gilberry gone, Bailey will be Kansas City’s primary nickel end after managing 10 tackles and one sack last season. If Bailey excels in the role, he could be ticketed for a starting job the following season. Dorsey is in a contract year, and Jackson’s 2013 base salary is an unmanageable $14.72 million.
