Falcons 2024 third-round pick Bralen Trice cut without ever playing in a game

When the Falcons drafted defensive end Bralen Trice in the third round in 2024, they thought he had a bright future. Instead, he never played in a regular-season game for them.Trice was among the Falcons’ roster cuts on Sunday, the end of a highly disappointing two years in Atlanta.The 25-year-old Trice tore his ACL in his first preseason game, missed his entire rookie year, and then aggravated the same knee in 2025 and never played that year either.Trice was a two-time first-team All-Pac-12 selection at Washington, and a two-time bowl game MVP. He wasn’t necessarily a bad pick at the time the Falcons chose him, but he turned into a rare third-round pick who never got on the field for the team that drafted him.
