The Atlanta Falcons could use as much help as they could get right now, and that’s in almost every single position on the field.
With that in mind, they’re set to work out a well-known veteran CB.
According to a report by NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe (via BR Gridiron), 33-year-old Malcolm Butler will visit the team trying to make a comeback in the league.

He spent seven years in the league with the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans, being known mostly for his clutch interception in Super Bowl XLIX to seal a win for the Pats.
Butler’s ascent to prominence was shortlived, though, as he hasn’t played in the league for the past couple of years.
He was a three-year starter in New England and even got a Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro selection, and that iconic interception on Russell Wilson will live forever in our memories.
He helped the Pats win another Super Bowl in 2016, but he was benched in his third trip to the big game when they faced the Philadelphia Eagles.
Butler signed a five-year deal with the Titans, but he was released after just three seasons.
He later signed with the Arizona Cardinals but retired shortly before the start of the season.
Butler came back from retirement last season to sign a two-year contract with the Pats, but he was put on injured reserve and released shortly after.
The Falcons were one of the worst teams against the pass last season, so they could definitely use the help.
