According to OverTheCap.com, this move will free up $660,000 in available cap space for the Falcons while creating only $42,215 in dead money.
In 2014, he appeared in 15 games and recorded 22 tackles, two sacks, and a pass defense. Pro Football Focus has Massaquoi rated as the No. 23 defensive end in a 4-3 defense last year out of 59 qualifying players.
