Football Betting Lines

08/31/2010 - Flowery Branch, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Falcons parted ways with safety Matt Giordano by way of an injury settlement and waived/injured defensive tackle Thomas Johnson to reach the league-mandated 75-man roster Tuesday.

Both players signed as free agents this offseason, with Giordano coming over from the Packers and Johnson re-signing with Atlanta after totaling two sacks and 27 tackles with a forced fumble over 13 games, 10 of those starts, in 2009.

Giordano appeared in just five games with Green Bay last year after playing in all 16 for the Colts a year earlier.
